Layout #2 using the November Creative Kit that includes papers from the Crate Paper Hey, Santa line. I really like the way Monique used the tags for her topper, and managed to used so may die cuts from the ephemera packages. . . .since I scrap 8-1/2 x 11, I had to make lots of adjustments on this one.
Christmas
Day, Tuesday December 25th, 2018 –
The Meadows.
Christmas
was a bit different this year. This year you spent Christmas Day @ the Meadows
in Centre Hall. At this point you’d been there since early am on Thursday the
20th. As of today, we still aren’t sure when you’re going to be coming
home. We did find out that you had
decided to check yourself out yesterday, so your name “Rich” on the White Board
now has a black triangle (lock down patient) instead of an orange ribbon (self-
harm patient). The black triangle means that you are now to be in lock down for
72 hours in which time the doctors have until then to review your chart and
determine whether or not you’re ready to come home or not. Still no shower as
of today.
The
Meadows provided small Christmas presents for each of the residents – a stuffed animal, coloring books and a fleece blanket. They
even gave you a deck of cards which absolutely made your day as you’re
currently into doing card tricks. I hate that you missed Christmas – but I did bring you a print out of your Steam wish list
to plan your purchases for when you do come home.
We
arrived around 10:00 am for a visit, but were told that it was going to be
awhile as the kids in your building (bldg. E) were acting up and the whole
building was in lock down at the moment. Since you yourself were in lockdown,
you weren’t able to leave the building anyways, so when we were finally able to
see you, we had to sit in one of the conference rooms with a sitter.
I
actually snuck my phone in today and when the sitter walked out, I took a
picture. I guess it’s the scrapbooker in me wanting to document the day – Christmas Day. A few tears were shed as this is never
an easy situation, but I know you’re getting the help that you need and that
you’ll be home soon – safe and sound.
