A luncheon found their friends and mom- HOSPITAL RULE BARS CHILDREN FROM VISITING Effective immediately, Memorial Hospital for McHenry County will abide by the request of the Illinois Department of Public Health ami restrict children from visiting iri the hospital. This state regulation applies to children under 12 y« ars of age, Bert Hanson, administrator at the countywide hospital, said today in making the announcement conmics enjoyirg the festivities of the day. TiUping to blqw,out the candles were Sally Wally, Estelle and Nancy Foremen and Mother Arlene, Tom Lundeiuis and Mom Virginia, Johnny, and Linda Filip and Mom Doris, Billy Mahon and mom, Mary and of course brother, Johnny. Visitors Irene and Carl Weiss were Tiost s lo Irene's two sisters and their families on a recent Saturday evening. They were Alice and A! Schuitz and their children, Mickey, Karen and Sharen, from DesPlaines ami Joyce and Ken Brooks from May wood. Carl's brother, Art, and his fiancee, Audrey, joined them for an enjoyable evening. cerning the change in visiting regulations. "It is understandable why the state has established this regulation. Children are more susceptible to disease than adults and they risk unnecessary exposure by coming to a hospital." "Patients are, in a hospital because they are sick, so obviously germs are around even though every precaution is taken to limit risk to visitors," explained Hanson. Healthy children usually arc full of energy and quickly become restless while listening to adults talk during visiting hours. This restlessness is translated into energy- and unnecessary noise and confusion sometimes results. "Children don't intend to be bothersome or distracting. Most enjoy seeing their hospitalized relatives or friends for a few minutes, but unfortunately this is not always the case. ^ "It is for the benefit of the patient and of children and their parents that this rule concerning visitation must l>e enforced," concluded Hanson. A study of hospital records shows the average stay df patients is sev^rt days--not an unliearable lengtti of time ft»r children to wait to see theit friends and loved ones when their own health may be at stake. Kiddies are told that most, of the things they want to do are wrong -- and that doing nothing is wrong, too--no wonder they get confused!! izM ,.tA?
