Kids are amazing.....

This was our last clinical at the childrens' hospital. My best friend got patient that had an incredible amount of problems for such a small person. He was 1 years old, and was the size of a 5-6 month old baby. He had hydrocephalus, PDA, pneumonia, failure to thrive, was cyanotic and had terribly crossed eyes. Yet, this was the happiest child I have ever seen in my life. Any attention he got, he just ate up. All 9 of worked with him, observed him, and he was the best patient. How one little person with so much wrong with him, can adapt and still be happy, is amazing.
