T+22 Farewell Room 4138!

Farewell Room 4138

You really did treat me great

32 days and nights

I gave it my best fight

 

I really can no longer stay

It's time for me to run and play

With Peyton, my big sis

It is her I truly miss

 

Thanks to all the nurses & assts., you all were great

For taking good care of me, I really do appreciate

All the diapers, meds, blood and tears

And for putting buttpaste on my rear

 

And to the PAs, Fellows and Docs

Let me simply say, you all Rock!

Dr.s Orchard, Lund and Miller

This BMT is really killer

 

Because of you, I am a new man

I promise to do the best I can

To get back in action fast

And to make this new marrow last

 

Don't forget my personality

Or my love for Umi Zoomi

Don't be sad to see my go

Just remember my warm greeting, "No, no, no"

 

Room 4138 it's time for me to say goodbye

It's bittersweet, I won't lie

It will be a little scary to go

But it's time to go make these cells grow!

 

 

Thank you University of Minnesota - Amplatz Children's staff!

Nurses:  Deb, Linda, Anna, Em, Katie C., Rachel, Tracey, Erin, Ashley, Gretchen (who gave me my donor marrow at 1:42am) to name just a few.  I didn't create a special Care team as you all were great.
Nursing Assts; Sarah, Danielle, Paige, Sartu and others for the baths, dressing changes and everything else you did to make my stay comfortable and safe.  Though you treated me well, I hope I don't see you again.
Chaplain LaDonna for blessing me.
PAs/Fellows/Pharmacists, Dieticians, Social Workers and the others that rounded every day; Sarah, Hillary, Luis, Marie, Maggie I am sure I'll be seeing some of you at the Journey Clinic over the next 78 days.

And of course to the amazing BMT Drs. that specialize in my rare condition, Hurlers; Dr.s Paul Orchard, Troy Lund and Wes Miller.
