Haven received the cutest little duck from the ASCEND Foundation. His name is Gabe Chemo Duck.
About Chemo Duck
Chemo Duck is a multi-purpose stuffed animal. He is a 12” stuffed Duck who comes dressed in hospital pajamas and a bandana wrapped around his head. Safely secured on his chest is a bandage with either a central line or a port (the vehicle used to take chemotherapy directly in the blood stream). On his arm he wears an arm immobilizer sometimes called a “No-No”. The arm immobilizer protects peripheral IVs, and discourages children from bending the arm to pull at bandages etc.
I received this note this morning and wanted to share!
