Each floor of JWCH has a procedure room. This room is used for things that may hurt like drawing blood and starting IV’s. No procedures – not even a band aid – is done in the play-rooms or the child’s room. These are often referred to as “safe areas”. Visiting
Children’s spirits often lift after visits from family and friends. We encourage you to spend as much time as possible with your child while still allowing him or her quiet time to get plenty of much needed rest. For the safety of your child, do not allow people with cold or flu symptoms or people with recent exposure to infectious disease, such as chicken pox, to visit. Please check with your child’s nurse for more specific visiting guidelines and times. Round-the-clock care
Rest is an important part of your child’s recovery. Bedtime should be at a reasonable hour and the room should be dark and quiet. You can expect nursing staff to enter the room throughout the night to observe and monitor your child. He or she may be awakened during the night to receive the care his or her doctors have ordered. You can help calm some of your child’s fears and emotional upheaval by participating in his or her care. Whenever possible, you should continue to bathe, diaper and feed your child just like you would at home. Services |
