In addition to the freestanding Ronald McDonald House on Holcombe, RMH operates a smaller facility…read morew/in Texas Children's Hospital. This includes a 20 room "House" on the 4th floor of the Abercrombie Building that serves families with children staying in the Level 4 NICU; PICU; & CVICU, & 3 "Family Rooms" that offer most of the facilities of a House, except private rooms. Two of these Family Rooms are dedicated to families of Hematology/Oncology patients, one is for those w preemies born & hospitalized at the Pavilion, and one is for families of patients of the Heart Center who are undergoing cardiovascular surgery or cardiac catheterization, or who are patients in the CVICU. We stayed in the 1,000 sq ft Family Room at the Heart Center, while our daughter was undergoing open heart surgery to repair her tetralogy of Fallot. And we used it as a base while she was convalescing in the CVICU during her first 5 days post-op. It's actually a suite of rooms, & boasts the following: -2 waiting areas w spectacular views to the NW & NE, comfy couches & armchairs, & desks -pillows & blankets (both for naps & overnight stays) -free WiFi -restrooms -showers -kitchenette (w a fridge, 2 microwaves, a dishwasher, drip coffee maker, toaster, ice machine, free snacks & coffee, & dinnerware). Pizza is served on Thursdays & volunteers sometimes bring food. -big-screen TV, DVD player, & VCR -library of books, DVDs, VHS tapes, & board games -play area w toddler toys -conference rooms (where parents liaise w their child's Dr. or nurse) -lactation room w a Medela Symphony pump (just sign in w the receptionist) -lockers Having a haven on the floor just below the Cardiovascular ORs & the CVICU during our daughter's time there was invaluable for us. On the day of her surgery, we were given a pager used by 1 of the cardiac nurses to notify us when she was ready to meet w us, in order to update us on our daughter's condition & what procedures had been performed. This, we were told would work anywhere in the hospital. But where does one go when her kid is being cracked open, her blood chilled-down, and her heart stopped; drained of blood; carved up; & resown? I couldn't go anywhere. I couldn't do or think anything. Going downstairs to grab a burger seemed too complicated. And what if we had gone downstairs to get something to eat, but couldn't get back to the conference room in time to meet w the nurse? I don't think I'd have risked it. And this was something we hadn't even thought to plan for. W/o that kitchenette, I don't think we'd have eaten that day, & as I was pumping milk for my twin daughters, I really did need to eat. During our daughter's recovery in the CVICU, it was again truly necessary for us to have a home-away-from-home near to our baby. As our prematurely-born twin daughters were then just 3 weeks old, I didn't want to leave my healthy daughter with a babysitter. She needed constant care, & my husband & I weren't ready to be separated from her, as we were, her sister. We needed to bring her w us to Texas Children's. But the CVICU is tiny & overly crowded. There's little space even for a diaper bag, let alone a stroller. The RMH Family Room afforded us a safe place to leave both of these. And b/c our healthy daughter was only allowed to be in the CVICU for an hour per day, the Family Room was also a place where one parent could care for her, while the other spent time w her sister. And it didn't hurt that we could grab a few Pop-Tarts & some water when we were on our way out the door, feeling tired & dehydrated, our blood sugar invariably low, our spirits invariably depressed. The Ronald McDonald Family Room at Texas Children's Heart Center is a real refuge for caregivers during the most harrowing times of their lives, & is a cause truly worth supporting. If you'd like to help, you can officially "volunteer" (http://www.rmhhouston.org/Volunteer) or stop by the room (on the 17th floor of the West Tower at TCH) anytime w food or gently used board games, toys, books, DVDs, or VHS tapes, & sign in at reception. Thanks in advance for your support. My family & I will be back soon. Hope to see you there.

Most importantly it was not helping residents find books, but taking the time to visit with them. The residents were offered support in so many ways: committed administrators, caring cottage parents, tutoring, counseling, help in applying for colleges or directly entering the work force. Because BGC choses not take any government funding, residents can live there past age 18. Recently, I met with 1 of the administrators who told me about their newest program. It allows a single mother with up to 3 kids to live there 18 months and receive an array of support that will tremendously benefit her and the children. Bottom line , BGC is totally vested in improving the lives of all who live there. Aileen Kirkham
