DVDs for Emergency Department Patients

Patients who come to Botsford Hospital through our Emergency Department can be here for a long while.  For most patients, tests need to be scheduled, results need to be read and specialists may need to be called. This all takes time.  Portable DVD players with headphones can make the wait more bearable.  We are also building a library of DVDs for patients to choose from, including titles that are appropriate for children and young adults.

TV/DVD Player

Time goes slowly for children in the Pediatric Unit. Movies can make a sick child's stay more bearable. The TV/DVD player will be placed on a cart so it can be used in any room in the Pediatric unit. A separate DVD Player can be hooked up to some of the permanent televisions.

Hand-held Electronic Games

Hand-held electronic games provide intellectual stimulation as well as recreational fun for children waiting for procedures. Games include Wheel of Fortune, Solitaire, Connect 4 and more.

Music & Motion Soother

These soothers attach to the side of the crib and are calming and therapeutic for infants. They play music and have peaceful visuals for baby to look at.

Infant Toys

Toys are used in a variety of ways among our patients. They are a wonderful distraction while infants are hospitalized.

Playstation 1 Games

The Pediatric Unit currently has a Playstation 1 for children to use while they are in the hospital or awaiting a procedure. These types of activities help to alleviate the anxiety a sick child may experience.

Please note: Botsford Hospital will not purchase any games that are not appropriate for children of any age.

Infant Bouncy Seats

Some sick infants cannot lay flat in a crib, requiring them to utilize a bouncy seat. Bouncy seats also provide a safe, secure place for baby to rest or play. Activity centers on bouncy seats can provide developmentally appropriate stimulation for the senses during play. Your purchases will help an infant feel their best when they are ill.

Pull-up Diapers for Boys and Girls

A young child who is potty training may need extra assistance when they are in the hospital and shortly after returning home. For some families in our Pediatric Unit, Pull-Ups are not an affordable option.

Infant Car-Bed for Preemie Infant

Severely premature infants cannot sit upright in a car seat to travel home; the law requires they fully recline in a car-bed. Occasionally a new mother cannot afford to purchase a baby car-bed. Your donation will ensure families in need have the means to transport their bundle of joy home from the hospital.
