Amy's New Friends

Laura and Amy

   Amy has made a few new friends.  The first is Laura. She was sent to us by the hospital and she is a Child Life Specialist. She has been wonderful for Amy and helping her understand her diagnosis, explaining her treatment, and going over what procedures are going to be done. She does all this to help keep Amy's mind busy by playing games and chatting with her. Her technical job is to help us and Amy prepare for upcoming tests, surgeries and procedures. She comes in to make sure while Amy is in the hospital she has time to play and experience things that she would normally be participating in at home and with her friends.  

Sadie Mae the Therapy Dog

 






The second friend is Sadie Mae. She is a Vizsla and part of the hospitals "TAILS" program. This stands for Therapeutic Animal Intervention Lifts Spirits. This wonderful girl came in to help reduce any anxiety and boost Amy's mood while at the hospital. Sadie Mae is a certified therapy dog and she has helped our entire family relax and enjoy her company. She is a volunteer from the community and we appreciate her and her owner spending time to get to know Amy and help us. Unfortunately she is so good at her job she has the entire family wanting to bring a Vizsla puppy home! 

                                        Thank you Laura and Sadie Mae for a wonderful day!
