I know a little something about being young and in the hospital. I had just turned 6 years old when I contracted polio and spent the next 2 years in the hospital. No longer was I able to run around the neighborhood, or play in the attic, or visit the local store to buy candy.
Therefore when I learned the reason why a certain youngster hadn't been seen at church lately was because she was in the hospital, I had some idea of what she was experiencing.
My wife has found fun web videos (like the Ugly Duckling song by Danny Kaye in a movie about Hans Christian Anderson) to share with the girl on Facebook. A few minutes ago she showed me how I could do that as well. Somebody had sent us an animated eCard that DebbieLynne then used a link to share it with her on Facebook.
The computer is a great way for keep in touch with people who we may not get to see due their being in the hospital or snow preventing me and my wife from getting out and around. It's really cool when more than just text emails can be shared.
That young friend is in a good hospital, and I'm hoping they'll get her fully cured and be able to be back home to stay in the coming months. I'll be happy when she can be back having fun with her friends at church.
Meanwhile we'll have to do what we can to cheer her up via Facebook.

Actually, I haven't been very good about sending videos to her. I've got to get better about that!
