Little Otto is a patient in the hospital. He wears a gown like yours.....
Otto has an ostomy just like you......
Help Otto change his ostomy bag.....
No, I am not making this up.
Ellie got one of these the other day complete with a functioning ostomy bag. Brilliant to make something scary and sometimes gross to little kids into a toy.

LMAO that doll is AWESOME! you're right, it will totally help make the ostomy seem "normal" and not scarey. definitly puts a positive spin on things.
I, not my daughter, am the one with the ostomy. But my daughter (age 3) has one of these dolls from Hollister and she plays with it like any other babydoll. She even took it to preschool for show and tell during "O" week. ( Ostomy is afterall and 'o' word...lol)
Her teacher said she did a very good job of explaining that "this is how my mommy goes poopy".
The doll has been a great learning tool for us. Hope your daughter will enjoy hers. Wishing her a full and speedy recovery.
