| A nurse on one of our interdisciplinary teams saw an opportunity to grant a wish for one of our youngest patients. The team pooled their resources to send the four-year old on a very memorable birthday trip. For two days he, his mother, and one of the team nurses enjoyed Mickey, Donald and Goofy at Walt Disney World. The staff also donated $200 cash for food and souvenirs. Our little patient was treated to a Buzz Lightyear toy, a Disney ball, a blanket, a pair of “Cars” pajamas, a Mickey Mouse sweatshirt with pouches for his hands, a Mickey Mouse T-shirt and socks. Sadly, our young patient passed away shortly thereafter. But our staff knows that for those two special days, he and his mom mostly escaped the reality of his illness and he was just another little boy in awe of all the magic at Disney!-Manny
