The Peds Resident Christmas Party

Friday, December 22nd we had our annual holiday party. All the residents go up to the lounge (instead of noon conference) for lunch and holiday cheer. Secret Santas reveal themselves and give their last present. I had Jen Schrieber... I think she was suprised. Sheena had me and I am so thankful for my Target gift card, boy do I love that store! Jackie, Tara, Sarah, and I also exchanged gifts. I got a Cardinals welcome mat, a Tshirt, and a cookbook; all very useful items! Then some very creative residents entertained us by singing their version of "The 12 Days of Christmas" in this case "The 12 Days of Wards." These words are similar but may be out of order:
On the 12th day of Wards my senior gave to me:
12 directs coming
11 trachs a plugging
10 Crohn's a bleeding
9 nurses paging
8 fevers spiking
7 kids a puking
6 hyper bilis
5 RSVs
4 seizing kids
3 transfers
2 spinal taps
and a pager for the ward team.

Unfortunately, after the festivities I had a ROUGH night of call in the NICU. ***Note that when you click on the title above it will link to other pictures, I hope! I will add others to the previous posts if they are available. Best wishes!
