How wonderful of that nurse. God bless your aunt love.
I'm sure Snickers visit helped ease her pain.

Hugs Shirl x x

You can take doggies into our hospital to visit. They changed the rules. I would talk to the admin to see if the rules can be modernized. Kacee goes to the hospital here.

That was a wonderful thing you did. I've got tears in my eyes.

What a wonderful story. I am crying tears of joy and sadness for your aunt.
I hope she realizes how much you love her. She sounds as if she is a wonderful person, and God only takes the best. Remember one day she will be with her Snickers again. What joy that will be.
Have you set up for more visits. I'm sure even though you live 5 hours away, that some other family member close by would bring Snickers again. It may help a wonderful lady live her last days in peace.
Sure worth checking into.
Hugs for you and her. and SNICKERS!

You are a special person to persevere in finding a way to get your Aunt to see Snickers again. Is there any in hom hospice's to let your aunt stay at home with her Snicer's. They are so great. I will keep your Aunt in my prayers.

ARCHIE · 07-28-2008, 06:25 AM

Bless that nurses's heart. Everyone knows that animals are healer's to the
sick and elderly. I would most diffenately talk to Admin and see what can
be done to give your aunt some happy time daily to spend with her Snickers.
If not, I would wheel her out into the yard anyhow and have Snicker's waiting
for her visit. Like you said, your Aunt dosen't have much time left and she
should have whatever she wishes at this point in her life. No way would the
hopsital stand between me and the little happiness I could give to a dying
family member. Just the thought of such a simple request being denied to such a sick person if heartless. Your a wonderful caring niece. Your aunt
is blessed to have you.

In one of the veteran's hospitals that my dad was in, the doctor would occasionally bring in a HORSE !!! (as well as cats and dogs) The patients would pet them , so theraputic !!!!

How nice to hear Snicker's was allowed to visit you aunt !

A picture tells a thousand words !!!

xxmxaxrxyxx · 07-28-2008, 07:09 AM

I will pray for her, you and sweet Snickers....

celstu1 · 07-28-2008, 07:22 AM

oohh what a sweet thing you did! Persistance paid off!

You made your aunts whole weekend Im sure!

Grayson's mom · 07-28-2008, 07:25 AM

I am crying with you as I read this story. I am assuming your aunt is in hospice care? My mother passed of cancer years ago and when it was time for hospice we chose to take her home, thats where she wanted to be. We had nurses come in to help but mostly family took care of her.

What a blessing it was for her to see her baby, I hope she can see snickers more and more as I believe he will help her on those bad days.

((hugs)) to you and a specail prayer to that nurse who was indeed an angel

Bonnie's Mom · 07-28-2008, 07:30 AM
