A few more Sharei Tzedek mentionables....

This is coming in randomly between my pre-saved posts. I left out a few amazing things about the hospital stay that I wanted to put out there, and DR reminded me on FB...


When we first arrived and were in triage, N was screaming and was inconsolable. Out of the blue, a high school age girl and her 7 year old brother came in with a ballon, toy and bag of bamba. The best part was their smiling faces for a change of scenery. I was totally weepy with the beauty of two kids coming around on their own time and their own dime to do such a big mitzva! It was amazing. 


Little did I know that they would only be the first of many such visitors! Each group bringing a smile to N's face. He loved a candy bracelet that someone brought him so much that when the next girl came, he started pulling at her regular bracelet to try and see if it was up for grabs!


Another amazing part of the stay was the fact that the hospital charged us only 2500 NIS for an overnight stay and 6 courses of IV antibiotics! When I asked BAW why so cheap, he said that in the office they realized our plight, and lowered it significantly. Also, once our insurance kicks in here, the gov't will reimburse us for what we paid. 


Just a few more praises of the land!! Now back to our regular scheduled program....
