Hey everyone,

My DD is going to hospital on Wed for an operation (endoscopy to find a cause for severe failure to thrive).. It is only a day stay, but it is done under a general, and last time she had one (we have had 2 surgery's on her eyes already), she went completely nutso when waking up from the anesthetic.. she was so beside herself, she has hitting me & her, screaming, scratching etc for the first 10 mins of so.. apparently some of the kids react this way depending on which drug they use to put her under.

And then we had about 4 hour wait in recovery as she had slightly funny breathing and they wanted to keep an eye on her.

Anyway, so i wanted to get her a new toy, something for her to play with. It has to be something that she can play with and cuddle whilst in a cot, or sitting on one of our laps, so nothing big or with lots of pieces.

I was thinking of an Elmo live, but they are pretty $$. Or maybe a doll as she loves being a mummy, but it needs to keep her amused for a while, and i don't want one that cries (we have enough of that around here!).

Any great toys out there that somebody can suggest?

Thanks muchly
