Sick children have a way of instantly touching our hearts.
And when they require hospitalization, we hope for that miracle of science to help them get better and to get back home again. One thing they need is love and understanding. When a child is sick, it's going to be disagreeable. The grandparents allow the children to be loved, to be rocked, to be held and kind of have the environment to be normalized for them. It not only helps the children and families who are hospitalized hereit helps the nursing staff who need that help, it helps the volunteers, it helps out the Child Life program.
