Almost three dozen children and their families took a break Dec. 7 from their medical treatment to celebrate the season during the 18th annual Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Christmas party. With parents and siblings by their side, the children enjoyed food provided by the Oakleaf Club of Tidewater (a social and benevolent club open to medical, dental, nurse, and medical service corps officers, both active and retired, and their spouses in the Hampton Roads area), played party games that were hosted for the third year by the entire Greenbrier Christian Academy senior class, and were the happy recipients of a visit from Santa.
The annual party gives chronically ill children and their families a fun respite during the holidays with others who understand the challenges of what they are going through. The party is for pediatric hematology and oncology patients who are currently receiving care or in long-term care, along with their siblings and parents.
