About visiting Kristy...

We've heard from several people that they thought Kristy could not have visitors so we thought maybe that should be cleared up a little.
Visitors are welcome and Kristy LOVES to see and visit with people....she's too weak right now to type or listen to her phone messages..she does read some email and the blog, and she looks at her phone list to see who calls, so she knows if you call. When she feels up to it, she listens to the messages.

Here are the visitor guidelines for Kristy on the Bone Marrow Transplant unit:

• If you are sick (in any way), please don't come to the BMT unit
• When you arrive you will don a pretty blue "gown" to wear for your visit; it goes in the trash when you leave
• You can bring balloons, books, magazines, etc if they are new (candy, etc in unopened packages are fine(each piece of candy has to be individually wrapped inside the bag); the children enjoy them, even if Kristy can't :))
• Please, NO flowers, fruits, veggies can be brought in the room
• Fighting the possibility of infection is the main goal, so keep that in mind. If in doubt, you can ask the nurses.
• Please limit visits to 15 minutes
• Remember to bring your parking ticket into the main info desk for "stamping" so you may park for $2.00
• She enjoys visitors IMMENSELY, so please feel free to come see her
• If you need directions to MCV or about the parking etc, please call KK, Ray or Molly (if you need our numbers, just leave us a comment and we'll call you!)

Your kindness, care, concern and prayers are truly appreciated! Please keep those prayers coming!

Big hugs to everyone!
