April,

In our hsp. parents can come and go as they please. My husband came in a

3am once as I was not feeling well myself. The nurse didnt care as long as

they are quite.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note, our hospital also allows the parents to come and go

whenever they want, with a special bracelet. Kids need their mommys and

daddys when they are in the hosp, it is their sense of security that is

important. Take care.

dont need more grey hair here) Caleb, 6 wishing to be 3 again, and the

worrier of the family,

, 5 and the next famous artist, and , 17months with CF and reflux

and a beautiful smile and bright blue eyes, whose greatest passions are

dancing and Elmo.

Our hsp. to lets the parents take their kids between Ivs anywhere, even home

if they want. Also family members can take them if permission is given by

the parents.

Hi ,

CHOP will allow passes for special things, like formal dances and stuff for

the older kids, dont know about the younger group. Hope all is well with

Eilish, and please tell Liam that I said hello, I have a 6 year old too, and

know all to well the feeling of being " left out " sometimes, (not meant as

something bad, just something that happens).

Take care.

About your daughter wanting to drive. I taught my sister to drive a manual,

and oh boy I still think I have whiplash and that was 8 years ago. She

drove us of the road into a farm fence. But my brother who I also taught

was good. Good luck.
