Pilot Club Spreads Some Holiday Cheer at Childrens' Hospital

On December 12, 2012, Pilot Club of Milwaukee members delivered 32 fleece blankets they had made to the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, the largest and most advanced EMU in the region.   It was a reenactment of what the Pilot members did last year, because they had been told that last year's delivery made a lot of children happy.      Children being cared for in this unit often spend weeks in the hospital being observed.  The Pilots think it is difficult enough to be away from home any time of the year, but at holiday time, it could be unbearable.  They hope the gift of cuddly warmth might make the hospital stay a bit more comfortable.  In the picture are: Ed Hida (Wauwatosa), Maureen Wolff (Shorewood), Barbara Gregory and Suzette Orcholski (Milwaukee), Heidi Hida (Wauwatosa) Jenna Prigge, RN, MSN, CPNP (Children's Hospital) Kneeling: Barb Pierce (New Berlin), Linda Brothen (Milwaukee)
