Alli's Internship Day 6

Today was so much fun. This morning I was on the pediatric floor and even though many of the kids were sick we still had an awesome time with the music therapist and sang songs about the winter and snow. Then we prepped for an art project called polar animals and got ready and did some one on one's. I also got to meet a lot of new kids and staff. After lunch we did a sensory group and we also did the art project which was gluing white felt to the polar bears and penguins placing the on an iceberg and hanging them around the room. We also read them a story about the winter and the three little snow bears. Then we had a dance party to the music on the soundtrack of happy feet. Unfortunately today one of the kids that was in our group lost oxygen and turned a grayish color but respiratory came just in time and saved her, the thing with the kids with oxygen and vents is that they unplug themselves sometimes they don't know that it will harm them they just think it is something to play with. But in the end everything was fine. I learned you just always have to be aware and that double checking is never a bad thing. At the end of the day I took some kids back to there rooms and I also learned about the facility's paper work and care plans. I learned a lot today and it was an interesting day to say the least but I'm still looking forward to tomorrow!
