The Pharmacy did not initially have all the orders, but after a trip upstairs and the help of Nurse Kelly and Pharmacist Jeff, the orders were sent down to the Pharmacy. Thank you friend!!!! Faye told me that she liked going down to the Pharmacy, because while she waited, she went out in the sunshine and warmed up - EVERYONE thinks it is freezing in my hospital room. Here is Faye while she visits :)
