The hospital's solution: to pay half the bill, Everett agreed to sand, repaint and refurbish hospital lawn chairs; Alisa is assembling a hospital photo album of doctors, staff and equipment to explain medical care to children who become patients. "I used to be ashamed to go to the post office and get all those hospital bills," Alisa says. "But when you give back a little something, you feel better about yourself...
