Hot Dr. Pepper

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Martie and I walked int a room where a middle aged white lady patient was in bed and her sister-in-law was with her.  We had just seen her downstairs in the break room.  We helped her warm up a cup of Dr. Pepper soda for her sister-in-law.



Yes, you read right, she warmed up a cup of Dr. Pepper soda!  I have never heard of anyone who had done that before!  Martie said that it probably tastes like cough syrup.

When we were in the room, I asked the patient where she got the taste for hot Dr. Pepper.  She said that she got it from her grandmother.  I told her that was a unique taste, and the patient just smiled.  The patient was fighting back a lot of pain, but was still a good sport.



While I continued to chat with the two ladies, Martie took the patients cold food to get it warmed up.  They told me that they have a very large Catholic family and was concerned about too many people showing up to visit.  That's a good problem to have!  It's always a blessing to have a large loving family.

Both of them attended St. Thomas High School just like the family downstairs.  Two big Catholic families attending the same Catholic school in the hospice at the same time was rare, but nice.

Have you ever drank hot soda?  Can you tell me about it in the comments section?
