Donation Spotlight
of Joslin, donated an assortment of
games and crafts to the playroom. The playroom has made their experience at
Joslin a positive and memorable one. Mom stated that, “It always puts a smile on
their faces to go and hang out” and that, “It makes it much easier on us as
parents during appointments.” The boys wanted to do something special for
the playroom because they always have fun there.

Pediatrics was fortunate to receive a generous donation of
books entitled The Jester Has Lost His Jingle, by David Saltzman,
from The Jester and Pharley Phund. It is a story that helps
children realize that even when they are feeling upset or frustrated
with a chronic illness, laughing is an important coping
tool. Please see one of the Child Life Specialists, Micaela or
Jen, if you would like one of these books.

Joslin Patients Participate in the JDRF’s Child’s
Congress in Washington D.C.
Several Joslin patients were picked to attend the JDRF’s
Children’s Congress located in Washington D.C. this
summer. Jackson Savage, Jonathon and Jordan Beals,
Caroline Jacobs, Ellen Shaheen, Abigail Lore, and Emilie
Gordon set out to advocate for themselves and their fellow
friends with Type 1 Diabetes. The three day event
allowed children from all over the country to speak to the
representatives of the United States Congress about
what it is like to live with Type 1 Diabetes, the risk of
complications, and the ongoing need to fund research to
find a cure.
