FAMILY PROFILE
Horn Family
Home: Buffalo, MO (Dallas County)
After church one Sunday afternoon, I laid down to nap with our one month old
daughter, Mylee. She was acting very fussy and seemed uncomfortable, when I noticed she had a fever. After instructions from the walk-in clinic in our hometown, Buffalo, we brought Mylee to the Springfield Mercy ER where tests confirmed serious infections. Shortly after, we learned our daughter would have a minimum three-week long stay in Mercy Hospital. During those long weeks of Mylee’s treatment, the Ronald McDonald House provided a caring, comfortable place for our family. My husband and I would alternate shifts of sleeping and showering at the Ronald McDonald House while the other stayed with Mylee. On the weekends, our three other children enjoyed the playroom when they came to the hospital to see their little sister. The Ronald McDonald House truly allowed our family a “home-away-from-home.”
