Quick update no pics...
We are here in Dallas Thur-Sunday for a few reasons. First of all Parker had an apt. at Scottish Rite with the hand clinic. The visit went really well, we had a great time. This children's hospital is amazing & goes above and beyond for their little patients. The kids all received a beanie baby when we walked in, a bag of popcorn and lots of fun playtime with all their cool toys & exhibits.
For those of you that don't know me well... I have a degree in Child Life from Florida State University. (Go Seminoles)I worked as a Child Life Specialist before kids. Child Life specialists work in children's hospitals doing medical play, play therapy, explaining operations & making the hospital experience as stress free as possible. My favorite floor was the ER, I love trauma!! Going back reminded me of how much I love the hospital setting. I am sure when all the kids are in college, at the same time, sigh, I will go back to the hospital to work in some form or another. Before we arrived I contacted the Child Life Dept. & told them we were coming. Amy our great CLS came down to see us during our apt. It was great to see her and of course Carson talked her ear off giving her all kinds of "useful" information! LOL! We will be going back tomorrow for our hands down meeting, the group we are in. Should be a fun time. Lots of "little arms".
The other reason we are here is for Rick. He has a medical conference Sat & Sun. So while he does that we are off to The American Girl store!! (new to Dallas, I have only been to the NYC one). My mom calls it the "cult". But hey its fun. We even have "Libby" Parker's American Girl all dressed and ready to go. And of course Parker has the matching outfit to wear too. Ha! Girls are fun!!
I will update with pics. when we return on Sunday.
