Joel’s Surprise
TLC for kids recently delivered a RAPID TLC surprise to little Joel, who’s been very brave in hospital! Just yesterday, we got this lovely note from his mum:
Joel would like to say
Thankyou thankyou thankyou TLC!
Its good to have something to kill time, do homework, email my Teacher and tell everyone on Facebook how I’m going in Hospital!
Regards
Lee

Laptops and other devices that help kids stay connected to their friends make a huge difference during a long hospital stay. We’re so glad you liked your surprise Joel! 🙂
Oh very cool 😀
Yep big smiles! 🙂 Thanks Susan x
Alot of people think Laptops, ipads, Dsi’s and other game consoles aren’t good fr kids “they get too engrossed in them”
I don’t agree at all. They can also be used as an incentive!
Joel does Airway Clearance blowing on his Pari Pep 10 blows at a time. If he produces a specimen, he gets 1 minute on his dsi! Then gets on with 10 more puffs for Airway Clearance.
If he doesn’t, straight on with more puffs!
The Laptop allows us to keep up ith Facebook, letting everyone know how he’s going. We post lots of photos to help raise awareness of Cystic Fibrosis, and Joel does school work on Mathletics.com, Starfall.com. His Teacher can log in and see what he’s done. We can also scan any work he does and email it to his Teacher too!
Technology is a wonderful thing. I believe the Laptop and DSi have helped him with his Maths too! Something he is really struggling with!
What a great surprise!! Enjoy Joel. And thank you TLC!! That’s amazing!
