February 14, 2021 (Day 31 in the hospital) What an exciting day! Rayden has actually been hired by UNC Childrens 7th floor! He is the official door man and has worked for over three hours today. He even has a badge and protective glasses! Charge nurses Meghan and Liz have taken him under their wings today. He has collected things from the medicine shoot, placed papers in the shredder, taken things out of the printer, put sticker labels on papers, highlighted papers, pressed the button to open the door, kept his eyes on security cameras and even went to a staff meeting! When it was his time to go to the playroom he cried because he wanted to do his job instead, have you ever??!! When the night shift nurses came in he had to give them all their green sticker for their badges.
He even has his very own computer that has been adjusted to just his size. I'm beginning to wonder if he's thinking about changing his profession from fire fighter to medical professional.
Meghan, Liz, and Alissa were so upset because this should be their last time seeing him (if he goes home tomorrow). They came in to say goodbye and actually teared up. They all brought him a sweet valentine and candy. It's amazing how you become so attached. They have all been so wonderful to us. Rayden has received excellent care from these nurses.
Rayden received a sweet Valentine surprise from his dear friend and neighbor, Nathan. He also received a bag of valentines from a church near by and a special hand written valentine from his favorite nurse, Alissa Dunn. He made her some paper flowers as well.
