My son, age 5, was admitted right after Labor Day for SSS. We were pretty shaken up that he had become so sick. He has always been a very healthy boy, so a stay in the hospital requiring IV antibiotics, was a very new and scary situation for him and our entire family. On one of the days, we were an inpatient, Jason was one of our nurses. He immediately connected to G by crouching down to the level of his hospital bed, asking him about his favorite activities, and favorite sports teams, and showing him how the barcode scanner worked. He let G scan his own wristband, which was "the coolest thing ever!" He engaged in a popsicle "sword fight" which brought a smile to my son's face we hadn't seen in a few days. Though it may not seem like much, the small, little moments matter a great deal in the eyes of a child. I'm happy to say G made a full recovery and is back to doing all of his favorite activities. He still talks about "Nurse Jason"- one month later! I am grateful for the care we received during our stay at Sanford. As a mother and a Sanford employee, I am so proud to have people like Jason working here and I am proud to be a part of the Sanford family.
