Rarely do I get attached to the patients I work with. It makes it much easier when the don’t do well. However there’s a 4 yr old little guy that has stolen the hearts of everyone in the ICU. He’s been here for 100+ days and most of his issues have been respiratory related so I’ve seen a lot of time with him.
Many of my colleagues get attached to patients and bring in gifts for them but this little guy is a first for me.
He’s a huge fan of Ironman and Lightning McQueen so I had my daughter draw up this pic with both characters in it.
Brought it into inkscape and cleaned it up.
I’ve been struggling to do any design work in inkscape. Just can’t seem to get the hang of it. After trying to draw the outline cut for the acrylic and failing. I traced an led display that I already had.
You’re mistaken. With or without comparison to other projects, this one is very special. It was so kind of you to do this for him (and FWIW, I do hope that his little heart heals quickly and completely).
That is a super good user story and an amazing drawing. I’d be willing to walk you through any Inkscape issues at any time. PM me. In fact, tonight I’m dedicating to doing an Inkscape video. It’s been too long and they are needed.
This is so wonderful. I hope you will share with us about his reaction to your amazing gift…and in this case, ‘gift’ means much more than what you made for him…but I’d love to hear what he said when he saw it.
