Lucile Packard Children's Hospital
Alan and Brooke Boyle
Attn: 1 North Heme/Onc
725 Welch Road
Palo Alto, CA 94304

| Front Desk in 1 North (The Hemetology/Oncology Unit). The portholes on the right looks into a salt water aquarium. Really fun for Clara to look at when we go on our walks around the hospital. |
 |
| Hallway to Clara's Room |
 |
| Approaching Room 1403! |
 |
| Signs rotate as I choose and as the doctors need to alert all staff when Clara's health changes and may need additional sanitation requirements, etc. |
 |
| View as you first walk into the room. |
 |
| Sitting area. Couch is a futon bed thingy. |
 |
| Clara's Rocking Chair! She didn't even have one at home! She loves to be rocked in it! |
 |
| White Board on Bathroom Door. Has areas for the names of the Doctor, Nurse, Nurse's Aid on Service for the day/night. And a place for me or the nurse to share information - like Clara's breastfeeding times and lengths. It is also to help us remember what we need or questions we might have of the doctors or nurse. The best part is that the staff actually, actively use this with us. So it is as great a tool as it is designed to be! |
 |
| Desk, Cabinets, TV area as viewed from sitting area. |
 |
| Our view of Clara from the Sitting Area. So glad she is sleeping soundly and peacefully! |

Good Girl! (or guy) These are great for folks to see and imagine you guys in your temporary digs. The room looks so much nicer in the pics now than when things were so volatile. I am definitely coming back now that there are balloons! :)
Tell that bug that Mimi loves her!+
Glad you approve of the pictures! This place does look cheery when you take the time to look at it! I went to Parent Hour today and heard from some other parents that were talking about the hospital that they were at before finding out the diagnosis and being referred here. They likened Packard to a cruise ship!
FYI, note that it says who the blog post was posted by (me or Alan) next to the time at the bottom of the post.
I am really starting to LOVE this blog! As you know I am a visual learner. Yesterday I had to eat my eggs in the car again on the way to work. But was so worth it!
Thanks for the pictures! I can't believe you posted so soon after I had asked. You must be finding time to do things again. Is there anything we can get you to make the room more comfortable still? Looks like that chair needs to go...
i love being able to visualize it now, too! Thanks Brookester! Can I send you packages to the address listed in the post? love you !
Yup! Regular mail and packages can be sent to that address!
