When a child comes for surgery he or she comes with their entire family. Brothers, Sisters, Mom, Dad and Grandmother too. They all camp out for the duration. In our ward the rooms fill up with the children, their families, and all their gear. In the general hospital the families camp out in the hallways on their straw mats. They line both walls leaving only a path down the middle.
