Janine and I went for a long visit with Miss Suzie this past Sunday. She was at therapy when we arrived as there will be a break in therapy over the holiday week. We chatted with her roommates Mom who is lovely and keeps an eye on our girl.
Suzie greeted us with a big smile and was pleased to see that we did not arrive empty handed! Far from it - Janine brought a little glowing snowman who brightened the room with different colors emanating from his frosty belly and a table top tree which Suzie helped to decorate. Janine also brought a coloring book which was a big hit - although Janine doesn't stay in the lines. Ever the princess I brought her a pink pashmina (now she wants a red one) and some holiday nail polish.
Treats you ask? Why of course - Janine brought every single leftover sweet from her holiday party the night before and we enjoyed cookies throughout our long visit. We stayed until dinner was served and sent Mr. Moon home for an early evening. I think we stayed too long as Suzie inhaled her dinner - we think in an effort to get us the hell out of her room and off to bed! She was good tired - from her work in therapy and her work visiting with us. We are therapy for her and she needs all our positive energy, encouragement and hugs so by all means get yourself out there if at all possible.
As Adrian mentioned in a previous post, it is super easy to reach Park Terrace via the MTA - I recommend the E train which is express to 71st/Continental Ave then it's a 5 min ride on the Q23. Easy, easy, easy.
For now Suzie is staying put here and we think it's for the best. Everyone we ask claims that it is one of the best places for traumatic brain injuries. So pay Suzie a holiday visit in Queens. It will do you both a world of good.
Wishing you all a healthy and peaceful holiday.
