Envita Prom

Today when I walked in for treatment, I was completely surprised because they had planned a prom for me! They had decorated the hallway and treatment room with pink and purple streamers, put pink tablecloths over the credenzas, brought yummy gluten and dairy free food, gotten me flowers, and even had a pink tiara and boa for me!


The window says " Welcome to Envita Prom, Envita Angels"

Here is the table before we put all the yummy food on it!



They even decorated my IV pole! :)

I usually get there before most of the patients arrive so before they came I had my music playing and was dancing in my chair! First came Candi who we have gotten close to over the weeks. Today was her last day so it was also like a go-away party! We were both very sad to see her go and will miss having someone to talk to on Tuesday and Thursday treatment days.


Next came Patricia! She is seriously one of the sweetest ladies there. She brought me a little princess kit with a tiara, glasses, and gloves! She also brought a beautiful dress for me to wear and a curling iron to do my hair with! It had been so long since someone had done my hair! I honestly could not stop smiling





Patricia also brought pink balloons and a helium tank (which we had extra fun with) and decorated the room with pink balloons and also gave them to patients in the other rooms! This was one fun filled day!  I don't think that I could thank everyone enough. It made me feel so loved and made me feel like a prom queen for a day! Thank you to Katherine (for the flowers, Roz (for more flowers and for being a great, caring nurse and helping plan this!), Jasmine (another nurse who helped plan this), Melissa (another nurse who helped plan and recorded the video), Grant (the girls said he didn't help plan but he always makes me smile and provided us with some entertainment), Candi (for the lovely gift, delicious food, and for including us), Patricia (for the balloons, dress, hair, and making me feel like a queen), and Tori (for the smoothie and food). This was way more than I ever expected from being here and it made not being home seem less bad. And now I can always tell everyone I was Prom queen my senior year ;)
