.StephLunch backs Sun's Xmas appeal visiting Ivy Whelan after ICU stay

She said: “This hospital has a place in my heart because my mam worked here for 40 years, as a radiographer. I know how hard the staff work.

A&E can, indeed, be very daunting for kids. But at James Cook, it is far less so thanks to the hospital’s new Children’s Emergency Department.Sophie, who works for a children’s hospice, took Ivy when a wheeze she had repeatedly been to her GP about got worse.Sophie said: “She was braver than me. I cried.”

During her visit, Steph, who hosted Channel 4’s Paralympic coverage this summer, also met Owen Swift, 23, a volunteer at the hospital.Owen, who has a spinal condition, said: “When I first went in, they planned to use a portable hoist, but that requires a few staff members. A permanent one can be used by just one.”

She told Steph: “Going into an adults’ A&E can make children anxious. Now we’ve got a bright place for them with lots of children’s nurses – they settle in much quicker.”So if you give £10, the total donation is £20. Match-funding is available for the first £20,000 of donations so please give what you can.
