The Kennedy Family > This sign is found on the main floor, near one of the entrances. The Stollery family are the ones that made this Children's Hospital possible.

The Kennedy Family > This is the entrance to the PICU. Behind the camera is where you wait for the doctor to come out to tell you how things are going (this is also where the famous 'fish tank' is). The phone on the wall on the right is used by the parents to call in to see if it's ok to come in. Also to see if your child is still in the same bed. That's grandma there washing her hands...something you do after you enter the doors, and before you touch the kids!

The Kennedy Family > John was very good today, even tho he had to fast all morning and afternoon. We didn't know at the time of this photo, that we would be cancelled around 4pm. Dr. Ross was concerned about the ventilation that wasn't working which could increase John's risk of infection during the operation.

The Kennedy Family > This is another view of a typical scene for a child to look like, when he/she is first out of the OR.

The Kennedy Family > John's a little more aware and happy in this shot. Due to him not trusting anyone anymore, any time someone wanted to poke their heads in and see him, he would start to cry. This photo is a little larger than the others.

The Kennedy Family > I can't remember off hand if this was before or after the surger, but it's in the hotel room which is almost right across the street from the hospital.

The Kennedy Family > This would be a typical scene for a parent when coming in to see your child for the first time. The 'TV' screen shows his vital signs. The machines with the red tags are IV pumps, pushing drugs (pain killers or what ever the child needs), into his vein(s). You can also see the restraints on his wrists. These are to keep him from ripping out all his lines, and tubes.

The Kennedy Family > A shot of John as he sleeps peacefully. He did a lot of that for the first little while.

The Kennedy Family > He still has the bandages on his chest incision in this photo. He also has his ventilator hooked up still. At first, the machine does all the breathing for him, but then they will slowly wean him off of the ventilator. As you can see in this photo, his colour is excellent...John usually was so pale.

This sign is found on the main floor, near one of the entrances. The Stollery family are the ones that made this Children's Hospital possible.
