My days off are filled with phone calls, emails, looking for housing (but not anymore!!), and locating medical records these days! Yesterday, I was able to talk to a Child Life Specialist at CHONY about the possibility of getting a tour of the hospital when we are there for Abby's MRI. Abby is still very anxious about switching from CHOP. Honestly, she seems much more worried about that than she is about the surgeries or halo!
Child Life is amazing in general, so I knew that I could get some help if I reached out. This specialist was so sweet and happily scheduled a tour for us. She even asked for some info about Abby so that she could personalize it to her needs and interests. She also let me know that they are very familiar with working with kids with halos and will make sure she has plenty of fun while she is there.
Another nice thing is that this Child Life specialist who will give us the tour will also be the one who will be with Abby during pre-op and post-op, so there will be some continuity. It will be nice to have a familiar face when we get there for surgery.
I told Abby about the tour last night and I could see the stress immediately lessen! She was thrilled that she would get to know the hospital a bit and meet some people.
We are so thankful for Child Life! At times, they have been our saving grace during long hospital stays! If you aren't familiar with Child Life, this is a quick video that gives a glimpse into some of what they do.

Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
