Remembering Isabella Dianne Sivert

We acquired a beautiful rocker in our room at Children's. I'm assuming it was donated by friends or family of a girl named Isabella Dianne Sivert. I was curious, so I googled her name.. she was a little beautiful little girl that was a patient here.

If her family somehow comes across this post, I just want them to know the comfort this rocker has brought my son Jack during this stay here on 8 East. When he isn't able to sleep comfortably in his hospital bed, he was able to snuggle comfortably on his mama as we rocked like we do at home. This chair has been pure magic-- as soon as we start to move, he is immediately soothed and at peace.

If Isabella's family is reading this, know that your daughter is not forgotten.. and I think of her every time I rock in this chair and look at my sons peaceful face-- and I will continue to think of her long after we go home.
