Little Serenade

She seems a little groggy, but immediately welcomes "a little serenade". As I begin to play 'Let It Be' I hearpercussion accompaniment from the man sitting by her bedside, she is rockingher upper body rhythmically forward and backward. We are playing together with a nice rock-gospel feel! As I finish they are both nodding and smiling, saying how good it felt. I offer to play more, but they tell me she is on her way to surgery momentarily. I turn around and the whole surgical team is waiting behind me in the doorway. She is scheduled for emergent surgery. Now. They waited for the song to end before rushing in to take her away. The nurse said, "I told them to wait, she needed her song. She and her dad are trying to stay positive about this emergent surgery. You helped.
