Supporting Children with Heart Conditions: Erwin Cuddly Doll Helps Explain Surgery Scars

Heart sign: We support the very little ones…

Little Theo (all names changed) has a serious heart defect. His mother ordered our encouragement package with the Erwin cuddly doll. This allows her to explain to him and his siblings, among other things, why he has a long scar on his chest from his open heart surgery – which is why he is spoken to or stared at in the swimming pool and in kindergarten. It doesn’t bother him that much, but older children in particular often suffer from their “zipper” sticking out of the T-shirt neckline and marking them for life. The surgical scars are visible, but all other suffering remains invisible. Theo’s mother writes to us: “The videos help the children understand the diseases and the examinations and Erwin is of course a strong friend.”
