I never thought I would describe taking my child for a monthly appointment to get a shot as a fun adventure, but that’s what our monthly trips to Cincinnati Children’s have turned into. Thanks to the caring and compassionate nursing and clinical staff and physicians at Children’s, she actually looks forward to our visits! At each appointment, they go out of their way to make her feel like a celebrity who is visiting and do such an amazing job of involving her in the whole process so that it isn’t a scary thing. She helps the nurses press buttons on the blood pressure machine, helps prepare her body before a shot, helps countdown during the actual shot and helps finish up by putting a bandage on. By involving her in the process, they’ve made her feel in control and turned what is normally a painful and scary procedure into something fun and interactive. I am so thankful for the kindness and compassion that they have shown to her and to me during these appointments. We are so fortunate that these appointments, which can often become a traumatic experience for many children, have been turned into a fun visit with friends that my daughter actually looks forward to. In addition to the life-changing treatment she’s receiving, they’ve also changed her life by making hospitals and doctor visits a positive and welcoming experience for her and for that, I’ll forever be grateful.
-Kate, mom of Maggie
