Gifts from Gage
So I have been wanting to start this project for quite some time and have just been putting it off. Tonight I finally have the motivation thanks to a great friend to get this started. It's called...you guessed it...Gifts from Gage. We spent a week at Huntsville Hospital in the PICU before we were transferred to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville. We also spent Gage's last days in the PICU at Vanderbilt. It occurred to me that the parents really needed some supplies available. Nobody expects to wind up in the PICU. They might not have a pen and paper to keep track of what the dr. is saying. They might end up spending the night and need to brush their teeth in the morning. So I started collecting items and would like to make parent bags for the PICU here at Huntsville Hospital. Gage will be gone two years in July. It is time for me to get started. I haven't figured out the logistics yet, but I am working on it. So please stop by and check out our new blog. Thank you SO much!

You're right- there is a definite need for basic comfort supplies in the PICU. When we arrived with our daughter, we had nothing. We were cold and hungry that night. Unfortunately our daughter died later that same day, so we weren't there long. But she was so sick, I never would have left her to go get anything. We are doing something of this in our project too- Ellie's Light. I hope everything goes well for you as you start Gifts from Gage.
