Visit to St. John’s Hospital

Once again we visited St. John’s Hospital which is very near us.  Maureen, mum’s friend has been very busy knitting cardigans and tiny jumpers for the new born babies.  There were 10 babies when we arrived there, yet it was amazing how quiet the place was.  The mums were very happy to receive the baby gift and to have their photos taken.

We met a very tiny baby named Gift.  She was born prematurely and only weighed 1.1kg.  However, she had put on weight and was now around 2.7kg.  She will be going home soon.  Fortunately Maureen had knitted some tiny outfits which will be just fine for Gift.

 We also went to the Children’s Ward.  Several children had just been discharged so we met only a few of them.  Each child received a small pack of things (sweet, crayons, paper, whistle, toothbrush & toothpaste) and a small toy.  Their favourite was the small toy which immediately brought a big smile to each child’s face; thank you mum for sending them.
