I work in a job that is for the most part, thank-less and dull.... Today, I pulled off coordinating a large Care Team for a very medically fragile infant...which began with "red flags" that set me off when I was initially conducting simple outreach for a missed preventive health visit. It brought me joy that I work with such a caring, dedicated, responsive, respectful bunch of Nurses, Social Workers and Caseworkers (only one of which work for my agency). They all pulled together to help this kid who appears to have a "non compliant" parent who's neglecting the infant's serious health needs. Today, I felt a lot of joy at being a part of an amazing Care Team and knowing this child will be in good hands. Even if I get yelled at by my boss when she reprimands me by saying "that was not your job, and why didn't you contact OUR Social Worker? and why did it take you ALL day to coordinate care for one child?"... she can't take my sense of "I did the RIGHT thing by not ignoring red flags"... I saw a child that has special needs...I got them the care they needed very promptly and by the CORRECT Care Team Members...not the Agency SW that works in a different county and "gets production numbers" by referring the child out to someone else....No child should be reduced to "just a number" on a production report. This infant has a NAME and now has an AWESOME Care Team!!

After having such a great day.... working ALL day on one case, even at the cost of burning up my production report... I was JUMPING FOR JOY that I have a FOUR DAY WEEKEND!!!! ..........too bad my bonus doesn't come for another 2 weeks or I'd be burning up the road to run to Myrtle Beach!!
