The children and their parents and siblings were welcomed by MUDr. Milena Dokoupilová, head of the neonatology in Hořovice, together with nurses and doctors from her department. A rich programme, lots of games and other activities were prepared for the children and their companions.
"This year we were very lucky with the weather, we did not get wet like last year and it was warm enough. That is why we prepared small pools for the children to get wet. Once again we had the opportunity to spend a wonderful afternoon with the children and parents," says Milena Dokoupilová, MD. "The children performed various tasks for which they received stamps, and at the end they all received a souvenir medal and lots of gifts." The most popular "discipline" again this year was the mare Etna, who was brought to the castle garden by her sister Jesika. The horse was ridden by all the children. The initially shy children were on their feet within minutes and almost all of them had their faces painted with beautiful pictures.
The organization of the event this year is mainly due to Mgr. Kamila Prádová, head nurse of neonatology, and her nursing team. During the group photo session, Chief Medical Officer Dokoupilova thanked her nurses for their excellent preparation and organization and the parents for accepting the invitation. "This is extremely important feedback for us. It is nice to see children after three years who did not have an easy start in life," said the head of the department. She promised that this tradition will continue in the years to come.
And feelings from this year's meeting? "Again, wonderful, full of emotion. It makes us very happy that even after three years the parents take the time to come and see us. This is another reward for our very demanding work," concludes the Hořovice headmistress.
