As our teams assemble to discuss and collaborate on best practices and design of Akron Children’s new $200 million critical care tower, participants continue to experience “Ah, ha!” moments.
Patient Stories
A new family tradition for the Pollocks – the Holiday Tree Festival
We were blessed to have been able participate in Akron Children’s Holiday Tree Festival preview party on Nov. 16. In fact, we were so excited that we didn’t think to get a little boy sitter for the evening. Fortunately the event was so intriguing to our little mister that it wasn’t a problem for his entertainment.
Building on the Promise: The Parents’ Perspective
Feedback from families has played a key role in the design phase of a new $200-million medical tower at Akron Children’s downtown campus. During the process, parents were able to interact with full-scale floor models of the new patient care areas and were joined by their children for a focus group. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Y9fPmtltqk
Jordan brings the summer of fun
I’m not sure anyone could have prepared Randy and I for the fun we’ve been experiencing with Jordan this summer. We LOVE watching him grow, explore and develop his own little personality.
The Pollock Olympics
It’s a reality that Jordan isn’t going to be like other kids with a nervous system that allows their legs to move easier than his legs. He will be putting those super boots on, which will allow him to dream of whatever he wants to go after despite the need for a little assistance. When I really think about it, we all depend on something to get us to where we want to go whether it’s braces, wheelchair, bus, or car.
Jordan makes it through the Wipe Out
ordan has become more confident in his new skills, pulling himself up on his knees to check out what’s on the coffee table or attempting to position himself on our laps. He also enjoys finding our dog Sasha’s bone to give to her.
