players, they gave him a teddy bear and rough housed with him all was great until his IV came out. Because I don't really know many of the players i have no idea who the players were, but the teenagers on the floor seemed very excited. One of the coolest experiences was that there were 5 Haitian children who had survived the earthquake, a couple of them where there with there new adoptive parents and the other kids where so badly hurt they where flown to this hospital for treatment. One little girl in particular Linny had such an incredible spirit she had not seen her mom since arriving to the USA and her mom was in the same hospital on a different wing but was to badly injured to come see Linny. While we were there Linny took her first steps since being buried for 2 days under the rubble of her school, she was 6 or 7 years old, I wanted to scoop her up and take her home. Another teenage boy Xavier lost his entire family in the earthquake and was very frail he was waiting for an Uncle to come get him to live with him.
Seeing these kids really put into focus how blessed we are and that no matter what Flynn is going thru now he will get better and come home to family that loves him.
