All through the Hospital

When Hannah was in the Hospital this last time, she had a visitor she adored. It was a woman who sings and plays guitar. So the women and I went through about 3 songs and paused. We had just done the Wheels on the Bus: one of Hannah’s favorites. I came up with an idea based on a family car thing we do.

Robert, Gabriel and I make up songs like the twelve days of Christmas song, but use different themes (such as "my first day as a Jedi apprentice my master gave to me…" or "at my first day at Hogwartz my teacher taught me…"). By the end of one of these car rides, we are all giggling.

So I looked at the musician and said, "You know we could do things about the hospital."

She looked at me, adjusted her grip on the guitar, and shrugged. "Ok"

Hannah loved it, and we were all giggling at the end, so here it goes. It’s the same tune as the "Wheels on the Bus".

The wheels on the gurneys go round and round!

That would be a great idea for a book hospitals could stock for their Pedi wards. =)

Illustrating this is a must!

The OB ward says "Push, Push, Push!"
