A Visitor - Day Seven

I met Mr. Dlugosz on the first floor in the atrium this morning, smelling like bleach and clorox. That's because I had been cleaning toys that had not been washed over the weekend

Mr. Dlugosz chose the perfect day to come and visit Rainbow-it wasn't too slow, but it wasn't too busy on my floor. I basically gave him a very brief tour of my floor and daily routine and introduced him to one of the patients I have been playing with for the past few days. This boy loves to run, so Mr. D. and I chased after him around and around...and around the floor! I hope Mr. D. wasn't too tired. Mr. D. came on a pretty chill day, since I wasn't always occupied with crying babies--again, he was lucky! Most of the babies from last week were discharged over the weekend--yay!!!!!

Right after Mr. D. left, I had the most exciting adventure I've had on my project. I took an 18 month old patient (the on I had been playing with) downstairs to the atrium/cafeteria. This was so exciting because most of the patients on my floor are either too young, too fragile, or always sleeping. The little boy was absolutely thrilled to see something new and take a tour of the first floor of Rainbow. I pushed him around in his stroller and even took him to the gift shop, where he stared at the stuffed animals.
