Eleanor wanted to visit her in hospital, which we did last night. She is very upbeat at the moment, considering, but I'm sure there'll be some hard days ahead.
We got our thinking caps on for some gifts we could take as I'm sure a twelve year old would prefer something else other than grapes.
I suggested some crafty things and stuff which will occupy her whilst she's in hospital.
A jigsaw, an Easter card making kit, a cross stitch kit and a scraperfoil kit. I'm sure she'll appreciate having something to do.
A teenage mag for her to keep up with the latest gossip.
Smarties and Skittles are much nicer than grapes.

After suffering with my own health, I never take the health of my children for granted, but something like this still makes you appreciate how lucky you are.
It sure does. I hope she recovers swiftly and isn't too ill. xxxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a good friend. Dxx
ReplyDeleteI hate to hear of anyone being ill, but it always seems so very sad when it's young children involved. My cousin's son was diagnosed with cancer when he was only 2 years old. It has been very tough for everyone involved, but he's just started his third and (fingers crossed) final year of treatment.
ReplyDeleteThis little girl must be so happy that she has a friend like Eleanor to visit her and help keep her spirits up. Friendships are priceless.
What lovely gifts! I hope she make a quick recovery, best of wishes to her. XxX
ReplyDelete:-( I hope she bounces back poor dot. Fab pressies, I know I would have loved them if I was her age, it will take her mind of things a little.
ReplyDeleteoh my, it isnt going to be easy, but im sure with good friends like that she will be better in no time x
ReplyDeleteOh that is rough. How sad for her family to go through all that. I hope all heals well. x Jacs x
ReplyDeleteI know at firsthand how something like this affects everybody, although it often seems that the children are more accepting and resilient. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about E's friend. What a thoughtful collection of gifts you took along for your visit!
