Jordan's Friends

I've done my share of complaining about crazy things that happen at the hospital, but one thing I haven't said enough about is the outstanding nurses and staff. You would think by now that Jordan would hate going to the hospital, but as long as there is no pain or getting him out of bed in the middle of the night, he considers his visits to be trips to see his "fwiends", of whom there are many. Today, we had time to kill in between appointments, so we did the rounds from the clinic to the floor. This included being lifted up several times to see the unit secretary who often has stickers or some kind of treat for Jordan. We saw several of his favorite nurses who give him hugs, sing funny songs, do crazy cheerleading routines, whatever it takes to make him smile or laugh. He talks the whole way to the hospital about Sue (the nurse practitioner) who kisses him , calls him silly names and lets him play with her stethascope. All the nurses in the clinic are his "girlfriends" and he never comes home without being covered head to toe with stickers. It is an amazing accomplishment that he has a positive attitude about being there. How thankful we are for those who take their job to the next level and love and care for Jordan with the best they have to offer.
