Mama Cooper's Closet in Missouri Delta Hospital, Sikeston, MO.

When I'm down, I wait and I always get a sign that there is a God out there who loves me and knows that I need to be lifted up.   This morning, after getting sick  at a luncheon at Southeast Hospital, and realizing that I had the flu bug which is going around (and realizing that a bad ice storm may be coming in), I just began cancelling things like mad.   Yes, I do have help coming in today to get food, etc.

Who likes to be sick?   I slept fitfully and got up to drink some coffee and cancel a few more events for the rest of the week.   First, I heard from Robin Stacy Wilson who always gives me a lift  --I'm not really her aunt any longer but don't tell that to her...or to me.   She wanted to know how I was this morning!   She doesn't have to be concerned;  she just is!

Then I got another note from the Missouri Delta Hospital co-ordinator and she told me that we were ready to go with "Mama Cooper's Pediatric Closet" and when could I get there to officially open it.  I was there one day, walking through the Pediatric ward, when I was setting up the Scholarship there for Jim Cooper and I saw a child with one sheet of paper drawing on it.   The woman said, "We just give them a sheet;  pads walk off".   I went in with a check so that this will not happen again and every child can have access to art supplies no matter how long they are in the hospital.

And I feel better---Mama would be pleased!  So am I!   So is the Hospital at Sikeston!
