I have lived in hospital for more than half of my life because my stomach didn\u2019t work when I was born. When I was 11 months old I met Judy and we have been friends ever since. I am always excited when I see her. It can be boring when my family can\u2019t come in and visit me, but its okay because I know that Judy will come and play. My grandparents live in different countries so it is nice to have Judy, she is like a grandma to me.<\/p>\n<p>We do lots of fun things together like watching play school on TV and going out together to see the meerkats and fish. I really love it when Judy and I dance together in my hospital room.<\/p>\n<p>Judy is lovely and kind, she looks after me. It\u2019s good that Judy comes into the hospital and looks after kids that are sick because she loves everyone, and I love her very much.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; By Yuli<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yuli has been a patient at the RCH since birth and has a special story to tell about her Ward Grandparent, Judy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":41,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-in-the-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3261","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/41"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3261"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3261\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4891,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3261\/revisions\/4891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3261"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3261"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
