Working together on day one
We had a great one! After the usual day one challenges, 11 children received life-changing surgery. Today at every turn our team members showed their incredible focus, resilience, patience, compassion and skill:
- The anesthesia team working to secure the necessary medications and fluids to prepare a child for surgery.
- The medical records team organizing each chart and preparing the families for pre-op.
- The OR nurses making sure instruments were sterilized and ready for the surgeons to do their craft.
- The PACU team ready to support the unique needs of each child as they woke up after surgery.
- The ward nurses and doctors securing the rooms, beds and tables needed for families as they spend the night recovering.
We can’t wait to get back at it tomorrow!
