After Carnival , today was my first day at the hospital…I was so glad to see everybody of my team work : Eliane was the first one to hug. She is chief nurse of the ambulatory. She has a great work with little kids – she teaches them since a very small age (5) , to self infuse the Factor VIII- among all the other responsabilities.
Tomorrow I´ll take 4 teenagers to have our annual lunch and movie session together! it´s gonna be fun….
