All parents want two things for their children: to be happy and to be healthy. But if there comes a time a child needs to go to the hospital, the ordeal can be traumatic. Many little ones get nervous and scared around all the medical equipment and sterile environment that it can make their time there all the more worse. That IV bag that they need to carry around with them being one of those things. One little girl came up with a brilliant solution called the Media Teddy and it is just incredible. Take a look for yourself.

Ella, Medi Teddy’s 12 year old creator, wrote, “The cool thing about Medi Teddy is that it belongs to the child and they can bring it to all of their infusions. It’s not thrown away or passed on to someone else. You can give it a name (mine is Bailey) and it will be your buddy during the long days at the hospital.”

“When I had my first infusion, I was surprised and a little bit intimidated by the look of the amount of tubing and medical equipment on my IV pole. As I saw more and more children experiencing the same feelings, I became more interested in creating a friendlier experience for young IV patients, so I created Medi Teddy.”
