Avera Children's Champion - January 2008

Charlie came to Avera Children's because of a motor vehicle crash. He worked hard to overcome hurdles during his stay with us. Now he is walking, talking and doing well with therapy. Charlie's attitude has been positive. He always had a smile for nursing staff and would take his medicine without complaints.

All those who worked with Charlie described him as willing to work, his motivation was to get well. Charlie always had something cute to say and it would brighten the nurses' day.

Just two weeks after his admission Charlie transitioned to Rehab status and within 13 days he was discharged from the hospital.
