Ailz had TB as a very small child and spent 9 months in the San.  Her favourite toy was a panda called Doofus. When she was discharged they wouldn't let her take Doofus with her so she didn't want to leave.

Last night we went to IKEA. Sara bought girly pink tea-lights, Joe bought a meat cleaver to hang on the wall and Ailz bought Doofus #2

It's taken her 50 years to find a replacement

How cruel not to let her keep her companion of 9 months! I'm glad she got another one. (And I love your eclectic decor.:))

It's a style that Oprah Winfrey calls "wackydoo".

I guess they thought the toy might be infected.

Ailz was lucky to live. Treatment for TB was still in the experimental stages.

Oh, infection, of course!

I guess they were right to keep it and kill it. But I wish they had prepared her for the loss. It just seems unkind.
