This week I was organized. I knew exactly what the topic of this week’s blog was going to be. I knew it on Monday. Tuesday, I could have written the blog but
decided to wait until Thursday as that’s when I usually write it. Well….last night was spent in the hospital
with my son. Nothing too serious and
readily handled with a nebulizer treatment and prednisone. He’s back at school today with a note to the
teacher apologizing if he’s a bit hyper. If you’ve not experienced a child (or me for that matter) on prednisone, it
can be akin to someone drinking a can (or two) of Red Bull or any other energy drink.
So while I had a great blog topic (UVC disinfection of the
soles of shoes), last night I had fun doing a mini-audit of infection
prevention practices. There were a few
breaches as one would unfortunately expect around PPE use and hand
hygiene. I may have loitered in the hall
surreptitiously observing the environmental staff going about their duties and
am happy to say they were very thorough in their cleaning processes! Kudos to them!
I may also consider the disinfection of shoe soles in a
different light (pun intended) after watching where my son walked and where the bottoms of his
shoes ended up! You’ll just have to wait
until next week to read about it!
Bugging Off!
