Doctors at ChildrenÂ’s Ward School Hold Difficult Task reports Bunk Bed Blitz

(EstateNewsWire.com, November 18, 2012 ) Matthews, NC-- Donna Shanklin-Henderson is not your average teacher. She wakes up every morning with a particular sense of purpose that not many other possess, as she must head to her students, and only can hope they ever are able to have the normalcy so many students take for granted. Shanklin-Henderson heads to the Texas Children’s Hospital where she heads to the floor 16 to reach the reach her students in a purple hallway titled “HISD Schools”.

The facility that is tucked away in the hospital is filled with Independent School District Teachers, Elisama Lerma and Natasha Mallone, who offer hope to students, just like Donna does. Their job is not only to teach but to imbue their students with a sense of a possible future, even in the face of probable not in the regard to normalcy of lifestyle.

Teachers like Shanklin-Henderson must find a way to schedule learning plans around bone marrow transplants, physical therapy sessions, and surgeries. Such teachers must find ways to make learning not only accessible, but possible at all as their students endure cancer treatments and pain in their everyday life.

Each day also brings a reminder of what a normal life can look like to the children, and that experience is as important as one could hope it to be. The children have so much more to concern themselves with than simply passing a biology or history test, as they hope to pass medical exams that are free of terrible news.

Shanklin-Henderson must review hospital census papers to see what students are still enrolled. Some have been released, other have been moved due to worsening conditions.

"Miracles are happening all the time. We see kids improving, so my expectation is that all of my students will get better," Shanklin-Henderson says. "But here every day, there's the possibility that their recovery might not happen the way you like."

The disparity of highs and lows can be almost unbearable to the average person. Such occasions are like those experienced in a two-week span in October, when the teachers were able to bid full-hearted and happy farewells to students who were ready to go home, followed by heart-stricken grief due to the passing of a young patient.

However, such an experience is simply what can occur when one deals with ailing and sick children. Those like Donna Shanklin-Henderson understand the part they serve in the children’s life.
