Charley Girl September 19, 2017
We used to have such a good time at the infusion center. It was always warm and welcoming exactly the way it should be. Just a month later, in October 2017, our perfect little hospital “adopted” a new name. At first, it seemed like an exciting change, but over the last couple of years of Charley’s life, that change slowly turned the place into something colder, sadder.
We could no longer wait for lab results in the comfort of the infusion center. Instead, we were left in the cold, hard waiting room or wandering the halls or sometimes even leaving to go across the street to the mall, which was so exhausting for Charley.
Still, I will never forget the incredibly kind and dedicated people who worked there and made such a difference in our lives. It’s been almost six years since I’ve truly been back to the hospital. Maybe things have improved since then, or maybe new patients won’t notice the change because they never knew how warm and special it once was.
Sacred Heart will always hold a very special place in my heart. But for now, I don’t see myself going back anytime soon.
