Hurray for you Chad!!! Pediatrics is an awesome discipline! I know I fell in love with it too! My first home care case was rather similar -- CA induces quad, trach, vent,feeding tube. SHe was 10 when I started taking care of her and died when she was 13. I absolutely LOVED that kid!!! I took her to school and all too! I am sooooooo glad you had a good day!!! Congrats for finding a good fit!!!

Good for you. I can relate to the burned out feelings from acute care. I hope you continue to find satisfaction in homecare & that everything works out. But please keep an open mind and heart for the elderly male patient (who is currently hospitalized).I personally adore the elderly, and think you will too if you open your heart. I know kids are great, but the elderly patients can be so interesting and a lot of fun, too. Enjoy all your patients! Keep us posted on your experiences. :balloons:
