A lady sent me an email 2 days ago. She knew I made dolls for kids with cancer, and wanted to know if she could buy a doll for her grandson (boy doll). She explained that the little guy (not yet 18 months old) has infantile seizures and having a rough time in life. As I understand it, children like this ofter go on to have regular seizures after age 5 or so, and many are developmentally disabled as well. She told me her grandsons development at this point is 6 month. I asked myself, how could I not get a doll to her for such a child as this, hoping the little guy (Alex) can somehow connect in time to this doll. I have dressed it in old flannel material (very soft and very old) and used soft denim look cloth for soft overalls. It has 3 pockets. One on the bib and 2 on the left side of the overalls. I didn't think anyone would mind this not going to a child with cancer as most of them will be doing. The only exception would be something like this, or a child who is chronically and serious otherwise ill. Most all the dolls will be for a little one with cancer. I hope you like seeing these.
