Dave



Sadies "dave doll" (orange).  LMFAO!!!!!!
 I gotta introduce you all to Dave.  Dave is a child-life specialist, meaning that his job is to interact with the children, play games with them, and shower them with gifts while they are in the hospital.  He specializes in the cancer patients, and is designated to the fourth floor.  Cool job huh????  He is one of my favorite people here, and we know just about everything there is to know about each other.  Sadie is very special to Dave, and she recieves alot of his attention.  There is a toy closet here stacked from floor to ceiling with nothing but rows and rows of new toys.  So........needless to say, he spoils the hell out of her.  Dave takes to alot of the families, but not like he has taken to ours.  It is as though he has been apart of us for years.  I love him so much.  He has absolutly no filter on his mouth what-so-ever, so whether your wanting honesty or not, he is giving it.  Although there have been many times that Ive wanted to smack him for saying some of the things he says, I love him for that trait.  He is truly a very special and unique person, and the fact that my daughter likes him so much, is enough for me to find a forever friend in him.  He is a lot of the reason that we were able to keep our sanity after the initial diagnosis.  He helped to take our minds off of the chaos at hand, and filled us with positive feed back that our sadie girl was gonna be okay.  Ironically, the first time I met him, I thought, "who the hell is this guy, and there is no way in hell that my daughter will ever take to you in any way".  Wow, was I wrong.  Sadie loves him, and even has a little doll that she calls her "dave doll" lol.  We are all almost too comfortable with each other now.  Dave brings laughter and sunshine to my day.

  1. Dave is the coolest ever. He does a great job with the kids. It takes a special person to do his job. He is easy to talk to and share with. I know I appreciate all he has done for Sadie girl. She looks forward to seeing him. He always has a smile and a hug ready for her. Thank you Dave.

  2. Dave or David as Sadie calls him is a great person. Yes sometimes your like did he really just say that but it's ok he knows the time and place to use his filter. Jess is right on in saying he has been a huge comfort in getting through things. Always has a hug a smile or quick joke to light up the room. Yes a fun job but I'm sure it comes with darkness and he is a very strong and special person for what he does for our daughter and all the kids on 4 north. Thanks Dave and we love you like family buddy!!
