Patricia Puts the Baby First!

Grandpa Hill's True Stories

Patricia, Grandpa and Grandma's eldest child, listens with her seven children, and Grandma Hill (Mary Lee) as Grandpa Hill tells the heart tearing and heart warming story of when Patricia, was seriously ill in Children's Hospital of Columbus Ohio. Patricia was not responding well to her treatment and medications for asthma. After a day of no progress she is finally able to communicate what's wrong... It is a problem with her "room mate" - a little infant girl.

The infant that Patricia was sharing her room with had a problem of no spinal cord and was constantly crying. The baby's illness wasn't a problem for Patricia. The baby's constant crying wasn't a problem for her either. The fact that nobody was caring for the baby was a huge problem. As we, Don and Mary, came to realize the source of Patricia's agony, we cared for the baby and tried our best to the extent we could to comfort her. At her request, Patricia was doing without attention. Patricia needed us to care for the baby more than anything else we could do for her.

Grandpa and Grandma realized just how special, caring, and loving Patricia was, to put the baby first, ahead of herself.
