A few days ago my daughter started complaining about a pain in her lower abdomen...it ended up being appendicitis and she had surgery on Friday.
Before going in for the procedure, a nurse gave her a small stuffed Mickey Mouse and told her that he could stay with her to keep her company since, as any 8yo would be, she was definitely scared. When she came back into the recovery room, they had taped up Mickey's tummy with bandages in the same place as her's and he had an oxygen tube to match. They even took a little picture of her with Mickey for her scrapbook and gave it to us.
She's fine, recovering great, and Mickey ended up being her best pal during her hospital stay - he replaced her much loved Webkin, brought from home. She's even decided that he will accompany us on our upcoming WDW trip - we leave in only 27 days!
Gotta love that Mickey/Disney magic !!! :mickey:
