Six-year-old Londyn Edmonson could not wait to indulge in her favorite food after leaving Riley Hospital this week: a McDonald's Big Mac. The young patient underwent surgery to repair a hold in the bottom of her heart, which her grandmother says she had at birth.
"The procedure took a little longer, and then they found other issues, and then issues after that, so we've just been here to now we get to leave," Peggy Edmonson, Londyn's grandmother, said.
The family said they only anticipated staying at Riley for three days but added they knew they were in the right spot for Londyn to heal. Peggy said they were especially impressed with the kindness of the hospital staff.
"The good thing is [that there are] great people at this hospital," Peggy said. "The nurses, the doctors, all the way down to the staff, the cleaning people, [and] the kitchen staff. We've had no problem; everybody is great! Great personalities, great with children, I'll tell ya, they have more patients than I do. They have great patience; it's just a great hospital."
