I remember riding in that little red wagon it made you feel less like being in a hospital. All these years I wondered where that little dog came from and the hospital probably gave it to me. I had no idea that the dogs name was Scooter only that It was the summer between 2nd and third grade, I had just spent two weeks in the hospital scared with IV's, tubes going down my nose into my stomach and no solid food or liquids for weeks. Sometimes they would dab my mouth with lemon swabs it made me so happy! Then one day my favorite nurse brought in a little puppy dog that had been signed by all my doctors, nurses and everyone who took care of me. It made me Sooooo happy!! The only thing that was better was getting the tubes out and getting to eat for the first time in weeks and then hearing I was finally going home. I cried my first happy tears that day. I had been at that hospital several times before that freak accident but I always remembered the way they went out of their way to make me feel safe, happy and understand a scary time. As a nurse now I appreciate it even more because with frantic parents it's a tough job.
