Do you know if he'll be animated?  Or stationary, like the work of a taxidermist?

special prayers for your GD tomorrow.  The staff, nurses & drs are amazing!  

 

my friends son is a awesome kid  eventhough he faces major medical challenges & he is always "happy" when he goes there ...sounds strange but he (and family) feels like a second home to him!

 

At 6 years old he can teach us many life lessons & how courageous children can be😊

I am sure Geoffrey will bring a smile to everyone who comes into the hospital. A nice place for him to be. My only issue is that he had to be purchased for $10k when he should have been donated to the hospital.

Thank you for the positive thoughts.  GD did just fine and will be home (hopefully) in a day or two.

Did they file bankrupsy?   Maybe they couldn't give him away.
