osTEAo: Hospital Holidays

An osteosarcoma diagnosis translates to lots of time in the hospital and an unpredictable schedule that is driven by treatment plans and unexpected complications. Spending holidays and important days in the hospital can be particularly rough. OsteoWarriors Sammy, MacKenzie, and Matthew share their hospital holiday experiences, bad and good, from nausea ruining a pumpkin pie to breaking out of the hospital to enjoy the city holiday lights and carolers. They share the little magical moments created by their hospital care teams that made it better, how spending holidays in the hospital has changed their perspective on the holidays, tips and advice for patients who might be in the hospital this upcoming holiday season, and suggestions for how family and friends can best support them with holiday cheer.
