A visit to Dr. Bob's new state of the art Cardinals Kids Cancer Center

So this blog is a little more on the personal side. Many of you know that Mariah was born with a brain tumor...which is now been in remission for more than 10 years - I am happy to say! But it was a very long journey.

We met Dr. Bob in 1991 when Mariah was 3 months old. He was newer to oncology...had two exam rooms.....one nurse and loads of patients who loved him....

A few years later...Dr. Bob's office expanded by knocking out the wall to make the waiting room even bigger and 6 treatment rooms. We thought we were in heaven.....new toys...new everything.... more space.........and then.......he moved into the cancer center across the street...even more space more toys...but now......
THIS!!

This room is totally devoted to Guitar Hero and Wii...it has an ultimate sound system....

One side of the game room for teens...or anyone else....and yes the games are all free to play..

The other side of the room....I think grandma is going to try out her dance moves. I had a blast on this game....mariah was a little shy.....she doesnt want to look goofy...but I dont care...

Mariah and Dr. Bob today....

Jill and Mariah. Jill is a patient advocate, child life specialist who has also watched Mariah grow up in the office....she's been there as long as Mariah has....

So would I have changed any of the experiences??? Well...I certainlyl wouldnt want to have anyone have to go thru Cancer...not a kid...not an adult....BUT...if you do happen to have that ugly word rear its face in your family and you are anywhere near the St. Louis area I would highly recommend you to Dr. Bob.

The renovation donated by the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team will be a state of the art Kids Cancer Treatment center all for Dr. Bob Bergamini and Dr. Rob Hansens patients.
