Adventure With Braxton - Day 57




Braxton is back in the hospital for another round of chemotherapy. But he had a surprise when he arrived. He is in the Big Media Suite.

There is a special room on the children's cancer floor that is rotated between the different patients. Unbenounced to us, Braxton gets the room for this stay.

The "Big Media Suite" is a dream-come-true for a kid like Braxton. There is a huge flat screen tv in the center of the room with two smaller flat screens beside it. The patient has an additional touch screen panel by his bed that controls all of these. He can put the same show up on each screen or use each screen for something different simultaneously. He can watch two, or three, shows at once. He can put tv on one screen and play X-Box on another.

He can also control a video camera which is mounted on the roof of the hospital. He can pan the camera in different directions and zoom it in and out.

So all-in-all, Braxton will have much more fun this hospital stay. We are so grateful for things like this. It is nice to see your child smile and enjoy things during these struggles.
