Camp 2008

I'm in the midst of packing for a week long camping trip with 100 of my Peds Hem/Onc patients, ages 6-18. We take our oncology, sickle cell, and hemophilia patients to Camp Don Lee in Arapahoe, NC once each year. Thankfully, we don't have camp in tents, we have cabins with bunkbeds. I love the opportunity to get to know the kids outside of our clinic setting. At camp, they see me and the other staff as real people, not just their healthcare professionals, which is fun. It's hard to leave behind the comforts of home...especially my hubby, a comfortable bed, and the internet, but I know I'll have a great time once I get there. Everyone check in on Steven for me. I hope he'll take advantage of a week to have some guy time and enjoy getting more settled into our new home. I'll update everyone on the festivities of camp when I return next Saturday.
