Diana Hill is a phenomenal nurse with a genuine and unique gift of care that is obvious to anyone who meets her. When considering amongst our wonderful caregivers for this month’s spotlight, she was the unanimous choice. Diana has worked with multiple patients and their families in the most challenging of situations, and she epitomizes and embodies the word “Caregiver” like no one else. She volunteers for assignments that most would understandably hesitate to take on. Whether we are bringing home from the hospital a trach and vent dependent newborn or we have a last-minute shift to fill, Diana is more often than not the first call we make. Thank you, Diana, for representing the spirit of Family First Homecare in all that you do.

“I enjoy working with patients with ADHD and wanted to look for other cost-effective, safe, efficacious options to be able to give parents and patients as tools for their toolbox to help with ADHD,” said Dr Key, who specializes in the care of children and adolescents with ADHD in a pediatric primary care office in Austin Texas.
Communication can be difficult for children and babies, especially those with special needs. There are many benefits, health and otherwise, to using sign language to communicate with children. From a medical standpoint, if they are in pain, they may have trouble voicing it or may be crying. Sign language can remedy this.
Chances are you can remember a time when the health care system did not seem to take your concerns seriously or provided care in a way that hardly seemed “caring”. After all, the “system” is huge, so it is not always easy for one patient or parent to be heard. If this situation arises, what do you do? The answer has to do with your unique style of dealing with conflict, your trust in the health care system, and the degree of inadequate treatment. Remember: you are your child’s voice. Any child, and especially an ill child, depends on his or her parent(s) or caregiver to be proactive advocates for their needs.
