Daisy award

I was awarded a daisy award for helping a family make lasting memories with their dying baby.  On the night of a  Minnesota Timberwolves basketball game, the father, a huge sports fan, was at his babies bedside and unable to watch the game.

I contacted our geek squad who, brought in a television, and set everything up so the father could watch the game. The father was able to hold his dying baby in his arms while watching his favorite team play.  Following the game, the mother gave her baby a bubble bath and clothed him in an outfit.
