Introducing

Marvelous McKenna!

We have had so much fun getting to know McKenna this week!  McKenna brought this fun poster to tell us more about herself!  We learned that McKenna and her family LOVE to dress-up together...what fun costumes!  McKenna loves to bake, do arts & crafts, have baby showers for her dolls, and read while sitting on her dog, Digs!  Her favorite candy is Milk Duds, her favorite colors are orange & white, and she likes to wear a few rubber bands on her wrist!

Thank you McKenna!!

What a fun afternoon we had with Dr. and Mrs. Booth on Monday!

First, Mrs. Booth told us about her screen printing business called "Celebrate Always"!

She told us all about how she sets up the screens and the many steps involved in making a t-shirt!  McKenna is a big help when she folds all the t-shirts for her mom!

The final result is a "Best Day Ever." t-shirt, or...

a fun bag or koozie!

Each child went home with both of those!

Next, Dr. Booth talked to us about all the important people in the hospital!  

Each child was dressed and assigned a hospital role!

Noah was our patient and he waited patiently for Harper, and ER nurse, to get her gloves on!

The operating room was prepped for its patient!

Noah came into the ER complaining of a hurt arm.

The ER nurse asked him what was bothering him.

She then told the doctor what the patient was complaining about.

Next, Noah was sent to radiology for some x-rays.

The radiologist told Noah the bad news...it was broken!

"OH NO!"  Noah was told he needed surgery!

The transporter then put Noah in a wheel chair to take him into surgery.

He was carefully placed on the operating table.

Then the anesthesiologist and CRNA carefully put the patient to sleep.

UH OH...it looks like the patient is still awake...

The anesthesiologist quickly gave some more medicine!

The nurse cleaned the area being operated on...

...and the surgical staff began the operation!

It was a delicate procedure, but was performed very well!

Next it was time to wake the patient.

Noah came out of surgery with no complications.

He was just a little tired, but he was told that was normal!

Noah then visited with the doctors and physical therapist and had a cast put on to protect his arm.

After surgery and recovery, we came together to discuss the whole procedure and all of our parts in it!  It takes a lot of important people to serve the patients at a hospital!

Thank you to the Booth Family for a super fun day!
