Grace attended a Teddy Bear clinic at our local hospital recently. The doctors volunteer their time to meet with children, give their favourite animals and dolls a check up and in the process help children feel less nervous about going to the doctor. Grace brought Barney to get checked out by the doctor and he was amazing. She started out her usual shy and apprehensive self but quickly warmed up to the doctor and the hospital room surroundings. I hope we never need to experience a hospital stay for real but I'm glad she will have some understanding of what might go on.

What a great program!! I hope you never need it either but chances are someone you know will visit the hospital and this takes some of the unknowns away! Glad Barney checked out okay!
