The children and their parents and siblings were welcomed by MUDr. Milena Dokoupilová, head of the neonatology in Hořovice, nurses and doctors from the same department. A rich programme and lots of games and other activities were prepared for the children and their companions. "The weather played with us for a while this year, but eventually it calmed down exactly for the course of the event and allowed us to spend a wonderful afternoon full of interesting games with the children and parents," says MUDr. Milena Dokoupilová. "The children performed various tasks for which they received stamps and at the end they received a souvenir medal and lots of gifts."
This year's event was organized mainly by Mgr. Kamila Prádová, head nurse of neonatology, and the nursing team of this department. During the group photo session under the hundred-year-old lime tree (see photo), Chief Nurse Dokoupilova thanked her nurses for their excellent preparation and organization and the parents for accepting the invitation. At the same time, she expressed her conviction that a great future awaits their little ones, as "they chose the most difficult thing right at the beginning of their life path". She also promised that this tradition of the Horovice neonatology will continue next year.
And feelings from this year's second meeting? "In a word - wonderful. Our nurses and their own children helped at the festival. But you also realise that after three years the parents come to you, they take their time. And this is another reward for our very demanding work," concludes the headmistress from Horovice.
