We just wanted to let everyone know that about all of the chaos and drama yesterday we were just so stressed out that we didnt have a chance to clarify everything that was felt said and that went on. We along with every other family here at st judes feel that St. Jude is an amazing place and is a life saver to our kids . I dont want anyone to think that we are unappreciative in any way about all that this place has done for our baby girl. They have given her a shot at life and we are proud to call ourselves a st jude family. That being said yes there was chaos going on because of the visit from the 1st lady. I understand that these people are here just like everyone else making a living day by day and no one is perfect. Could things have been done differently to make it easier of course but I dont know how long they had to put it together so that may not have been an option. Now as for the 1st lady. I appreciate her wanting to come out and help raise awareness for childhood cancer I just wish it could have been on a weekend when there are no appointments to need rescheduling etc. I along with every other parent that I spoke with was not happy about the situation but agree that no matter who the visitor was from Michelle Obama, to Laura Bush, to Hillary Clinton the problem would have remained the same. Please dont think that St. Jude or the 1st lady wanted these kids to have appointments rescheduled because I doubt theyd put anyone in jeopardy they just did all they knew to do. For all i know they learned about the 1st lady coming only days prior and had no time to prepare for the storm. Kinda like when a hurricane comes to la out of nowhere we do what we can with what we have. We as patients seen it 1st hand and all have had different circumstances following but in the end we all survived and made it through to the next day. Lets just thank God nothing critical happened and that hopefully a lesson was learned on how to handle high status visitors. Thanks for your support and God bless.
