Of Transports, Concerts, and Remembering Friends…

Aidan, Chase, and Craig
Aidan, Chase, and Craig

This is Craig.

The last time Chase was in Craig’s care, Chase had a fever of 104 and his blood pressure wouldn’t stabilize.

I rode in the cab of the Lurie transport with the driver while Craig and the rest of the team sat and cared for Chase in the back.  Want a crazy experience?  Buckle into a transport moving “sirens and lights” as fast as safely possible down the side of one of the city’s biggest roads at the height of rush hour traffic.  It has the feel of racing time itself.

That day, the last moment we saw Craig was when he delivered Chase to his hospital room, and on hearing of another child who needed to be “brought home”, he looked out at the October lake whipped in the wind and said “I wonder if they’ll let us fly…let’s go.”

Craig is one of the many incredible, every-day heroes of the hospital and we had the great pleasure of seeing him this last weekend at a Christmas concert.  No transports, no medical supplies, no nothing of sickness… Just holiday smiles. And Chase remembered him!  A blessed moment.
