Christmas is the perfect time for people to throw their troubles aside and be with the people they love the most.
However, not everyone can be home for the holidays, like Maeve, spending the festive period in Barwon Health’s University Hospital Geelong children’s ward.
According to the Barwon Health Foundation, thousands of patients, including babies and young children, are expected to attend the hospital over the festive season.
Luckily for the 11-month-old, she is surrounded by many loving hospital nurses and staff helping keep the Christmas spirit alive.
The rooms are full of sparkling tinsel, magnificent trees and beautiful decorations to bring joy and light to an otherwise scary time for many kids who find themselves at the Geelong Hospital.
Maeve will be in great hands with nurses Ally, Brielle, Thalia and Susie (pictured) from the children’s ward, who are sure to bring some festive cheer to the young patient.
