NEWS FROM MONROE OFFICE Haven Home Health s Christine James, COTA, giving our sweet Ms. Nancy Harbuck a good workout while visiting her at Stoneybrook s Assisted Living facility in West Monroe H.T., Hard Times, the baby squirrel was found in a ditch by Kendra, one of our Haven RN s, as she was leaving a patient s house. Mr. O. C. Watson, our lab courier, came up with her name because she was down on her luck and lost from her family. She was only a few weeks old and had to be bottle fed and cared for around the clock. Kendra would bring her to work and then take her home at night to care for her. Soon Leslie took over her care completely. When H. T. was two months old, Leslie started leaving her at home during the day so she could stay outside and play in the trees as most squirrels do. When Leslie would get home, H.T. would be waiting for her. She would drink milk, eat pecans, and play a little while before going to bed. But then the dreaded day came. One day, Leslie came home and H.T. wasn t waiting. She found her a new family. Having a fun Haven Home Health T-shirt day at the medical offices of Drs. Dhaya and Narendra Kutnikar in Monroe.
