Visitors

Anyone who knows Tillie knows how much she loves people.  She (& her family) love visitors, especially during the long weekdays.  We hope you will come say hi, but we also have a couple reminders for Tillie's safety:

• Do not come if you are sick or not feeling well -- Tillie's immune system is very weak & we must limit her exposure to any germs.

• Please wash & use Purell before entering her room -- Purell dispensers can be found immediately inside the pediatric ward, across the hall from Tillie's room & just inside her room.

While it certainly is not necessary, if you would like to bring Tillie a gift we have a wish list to help pass the long days at the hospital:

• an inexpensive kids' digital camera so that Tillie can take photos of her hospital stay, her nursing friends & her many visitors.
• hand puppets -- next week we will be putting on puppet shows from the foot of her bed (please call in advance for tickets as it may be standing room only)
• playdough molds
• small people or play sets for imaginative play
• a fun, colored flashlight (perhaps with fiber optics)
• Big Backyard or Zoo magazines
• small set of large legos (please confirm with the family that Tillie has been moved to the larger room)

Finding the hospital:
Tillie is at the Mary Bridge Children's Hospital in Tacoma.  The main entrance is directly off of MLK Way & street parking can usually be found nearby.  Enter the building with address 315 & take the Olympic elevators to the 6th floor.  Tillie is in room 670 (hopefully by this weekend she will be in the larger room just to the left).

We hope you will come visit!
