Re: Suggestions for the hospital

[Guest guest]

I’m sure others

will have some good suggestions.

For me, the fact that you offered to drive her and that you are going to

stay and visit for a while, would mean more to me than

anything you could buy. A *good &

understanding* ear means the world, as so many here in this group can

tell you. Sometimes a person just

wants someone to listen – a person who actually understands what you’re

talking about and going through.

Someone you can “vent” to. I’ll bet she would treasure your company

more than anything else. Maybe

stopping for a Starbuck’s on the way home would be nice.

a-I echo what Barb said. Being there and offering to drive your friend is a kindness that is beyond measure. If you are really wanting to do something special, I would think about a journal or maybe a big ole' pot of soup. Something that she can express her cares/worries in a very personal way, and the soup, simply to warm her spirits.Your kindness is felt beyond any material thing you could offer her.Brother, , 30, UC & PSC

Thanks to all who replied. We had a great visit today and everyone was

right. Just a visit was enough to lift her spirits a bit. My friend has

been at the top of the transplant list for over 4 months and is starting to

get very discouraged. She has been through it once before and knows what to

expect, but while she waits she has had to be hospitalized to control the

pain.

Interestingly enough, she started UV therapy a few weeks back and she also

is amazed at how it has helped with her itching when nothing else would....

Have a great weekend everyone.
