Cedars-Sinai儿童医院办万圣节派对:公羊队球员探访病房 新生儿重症监护室宝宝穿上手工服装

位于加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县洛杉矶市的Cedars-Sinai医疗中心10月30日发布消息,该中心旗下的Guerin儿童医院为住院患儿与家庭举办了万圣节庆祝活动,洛杉矶公羊队球员与社区志愿者到场参与。
据Cedars-Sinai介绍,在Guerin儿童医院的疗愈花园,公羊队球员与在院及曾在院治疗的患儿一起参加万圣节派对、玩游戏、发放节日糖果并合影,球队吉祥物Rampage也穿着火鸡服装亮相;对无法离开病房的孩子,球员们逐床探访、签名并合影。据该院发布,球员迈尔斯·加勒特(Myles Garrett)表示,能让正在经历病痛的孩子们露出笑容、哪怕只做片刻的光,也是一件美好的事。
在新生儿重症监护室(NICU),家长们为宝宝挑选了志愿者手工缝制的万圣节服装,作为孩子第一个万圣节的纪念。服装灵感来自儿童故事书人物,采用魔术贴设计以避开婴儿的医疗管线;家长们挑选的造型包括南瓜、西瓜、米妮、老虎和瓢虫等。
Guerin儿童医院NICU副主任贝文·梅雷迪思(Bevin Merideth)表示,住院期间家长原本没有机会过万圣节,志愿者缝制的服装与医护人员的装扮让NICU的住院时光多了一些日常感,也让家长们开心。据院方介绍,医护人员今年配合活动以20世纪80年代为主题装扮。
Cedars-Sinai Guerin Children's Hosts Halloween Party With Rams Players and Handmade NICU Costumes
Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California, announced on October 30 that its Guerin Children's hospital hosted a Halloween celebration for young patients and their families, with Los Angeles Rams players and community volunteers taking part.
According to Cedars-Sinai, Rams players joined current and former patients at a Halloween party in the Guerin Children's Healing Garden, playing games, handing out treats and posing for photos, while team mascot Rampage appeared in a turkey costume. For children unable to leave their rooms, the players made bedside visits, signed hats and posed for photos. Player Myles Garrett said it is an amazing time anytime you can put smiles on children's faces, especially when they are going through things, and be a light in someone's life for a moment.
In the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, parents selected handmade costumes for their babies' first Halloween. Sewn by volunteers and inspired by storybook characters, the outfits use Velcro to accommodate medical wires and tubes; parents chose designs including a pumpkin, watermelon, Minnie Mouse, a tiger and a ladybug.
Bevin Merideth, associate director of the NICU at Guerin Children's, said the volunteer-made costumes and staff costumes bring some normalcy to a NICU stay and make parents happy. Hospital staff dressed to match the event's '80s theme.
