I was looking for some of our stars, but didn't recognize anyone "famous" here. I did notice they gave a shout out to the Musicians on Call Program with which my niece's late boyfriend was associated.

I showed that video to Reese and she was was SOOO excited to see ALL her favorite people. (Except her absolute favorite Child Life Specialist--Miss Lindsay, who works out of the Voorhees office).

But she was naming all the ones she knew!

I also want to say that we are SOOO incredibly grateful to all of the child life specialists; they made Reese become more confident and understanding of what she was going through, and were always there for a little distraction if she needed one.

The child life specialists at our hospital are seriously amazing, and we're so lucky to have such a fantastic crew there! I was extra impressed at our last admission, because one of the team members remembered Judith from her first admission, and when she saw that Judith was having a rougher time with this one, she did what she could to help take her mind off of things.
