The lowdown on Visiting Marty

Thursday, April 14, 2011
Marty was moved from Palliative on the 7th floor to Pediatrics on the 3rd.  Kind of weird, but they assured us there are often adults in Pediatrics.  The move was based on hospital politics and really had nothing to do with Marty in particular.  Turns out Pediatrics isn't as nice as Palliative, but what can you do.

The word on visiting is : Marty says to call him on his cell and leave a message if you want to come visit. (He does not have caller ID.) When he feels well he will listen to his messages and call people back to arrange times to visit.

Although you may be tempted, please do not bring Marty any food right now.  His mom Anne is on top of the food thing, and he already has SO MUCH FOOD and there is nowhere to put it.  If you really really want to bring food, you can check in with Marty and maybe bring dinner (if you are visiting in the evening).  But  please don't bring dinner unless he says so. 

As his last radiation treatment is Thursday April 21, Marty will be in the hospital until Friday April 22nd at least.  And I suspect he will be there until after the long weekend, approx Tuesday April 26. Hospital life is drag, so do try to come visit if you can.
