Card campaign

Hi all! The Jr. Parsleys had a chance to visit with Mom and Dad this weekend at Providence Pavilion. We are grateful that Dad needs a lower level of care but find ourselves wishing we could move the old Drake staff to this new facility. So many relationships were developed during his year at Drake. Yes, he needed constant suctioning, but that suctioning was provided by RTs that grew to know him well and talk to him as a friend. Yes, he was on the call light a lot, but it was answered by friendly receptionists and helpful PCTs. Yes, he was in an awful state at Drake but there were nurses and therapists that knew him and could remark, "He is so much better today!" (than, say, 2-6 months ago!) We are confident that those relationships will develop at the new facility but right now we definitely feel the lack of familiar company to provide encouragement.

Here is where you can help...we are asking you to blast their new room with cards!! In the next 2 weeks let's throw so many cards at Steve and Nancy that they can't help but fill the new room from top to bottom with love and encouragement. Let's warm the place up and remind Steve that he is not alone! Jokes, photos, memories, funny stories, scriptures, encouraging quotes all welcome! Whether you are a close friend or just a casual reader of the blog, we would love to hear from you!! Thank you in advance! I can't wait to post pictures of his walls covered in cards!

Cards can be sent to:

Steve Parsley

C/O  Providence Pavilion Rm 448

401 East 20th Street

Covington, Kentucky 41014 

P.S. Not only will your card send a message of hope to Steve and Nancy, it will also demonstrate to the staff that this man is a valuable member of a community and more than just "the patient in room 448"
