Getting ready for a procedure day.
Here Daddy is putting on his "magic cream".
He's been accessed and is awaiting sedation, a needle in his spine, and recovering so we can get on with the FUN part of the day.
Why is this crap (below) in the halls at a CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL?
It's also right outside the Clinic. We walk passed this every time Dempsey has an appointment.
There is NOTHING of substance in here. The ONLY thing allowed to come out for my family would be the water bottles. This crap will disrupt hormones, toxify your nervous system, imbalance your mood, diminish mental agility, wreck your blood sugar, and more.
Please, just don't! In fact, DEMAND BETTER OF YOUR HOSPITAL!
Keep in mind, the FDA says ALL of this is "safe".
Oh, Chick fil-A, we love you!
