Pediatric Wing

We managed to finagle a tour today instead of tomorrow so Justin could see it too. I can just say we were highly impressed with their unit, but I won't stop there. But to save my finger since I'm typing this on my phone, I'll give the highlights. 

-Private rooms with fold out bed, bathroom, and shower. 

-Cool common areas to escape to including one with a huge, fake tree that the preschool back home would die to have. 

-More patio options including a fun playground one with squishy walkways. 

-A play room with toys I can take back to her room for her to use. 

-We can take her from her room around the whole unit for half an hour at a time and there's a hallway with interactive walls. 

-Doctors and staff do rounds every morning and with the social worker once a week to keep everyone on the same page. 

-There's a PICU there in case something happens. 

-They have a separate room for procedures where she will get blood draws and such so she doesn't associate her personal room with painful things. 

-Windows!!!!

-And just a calmer vibe all around. 

I think I'd be stupid not to move her. I will definitely miss some of the staff here, but I think they would agree this is a good thing for her.
