So helpful for parents!!!

This app had such helpful information to prepare my child for surgery! The reminders about when and what to eat and drink were especially helpful and took so much of the guesswork out of getting ready. It made the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming. Such a great resource for parents!

Give it a try!

This unique app can be used in the perioperative environment to familiarize kids with the OR and to help reduce anxiety about surgery. A handy tool for anesthesia providers, and very informative for parents as well.

Making tough times easier for kids

This app is filled with lots of great information that helps parents and kids alike. Between the info and the games, it offers a great crossover to make those difficult conversations with kids about surgery and procedures a little easier.

Excellent Tool for Kids and Parents

This app is just what the doctor ordered for alleviating perioperative anxiety for young children having surgery. Screen time with a little surgery and anesthesia buddy like “Little Hottie” keeps kids minds off of the unknown and helps them engage with their environment, leading to less anxiety and worry. Highly recommend!
