This 23-month-old girl got a surprise Disney princess send-off after her six-week hospital stay.
The Seattle, Washington, toddler was born nine weeks premature on June 20, 2017, and spent the next eight months in the hospital.
The Disney princess-obsessed toddler passed the time at the hospital by watching Disney movies and dreaming of princesses, according to her mother, Rachel Krall. When she was finally strong enough to leave Seattle Children's in May, her doctors and nurses gave her a send-off worthy of a princess."Her reaction to Rapunzel coming through the door was kind of, 'Whoa, who is this girl?,' and then she really had fun," Krall said of Emma, who cannot talk due to a tracheostomy tube."She played peek-a-boo with her and counted, and those are her two favorite things.
Emma's pediatric orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Klane White, said special moments of fun like the princess surprise they created for Emma are more important to a patient's recovery than most people realize.
