That's okay with them; Dad's being extra -kind and sonietimes he's eally funny, like yesterday when he forgot to put the top on the blender while he was helping them make strawberry milkshakes. But when Dad goes to visit Mom and the new baby, Laura and Michael have to stay with Grandma. Laura likes Grandma, but she wants to see Mother and baby brother too. Doesn't Mother want to see her? What has she done? Laura hasn't done any- thing, of course; it's just the hospital has rules that no one under the age of 14 can visit in the rooms. So Laura and Michael will have to wait till Mother comes home again. Maybe not. A number of hospitals -.Wingham and District Hospital among them — are moving toward a family -centred maternity care which allows young- sters to come in and visit with Mother- and baby brother or sister during regular visiting hours. The new program started here on a trial basis last week, and if no serious problems crop up during the three-month trial period it will be continued. The program originated in a proposal from Mary Lee, obstetrics coordinator at the hospital, Dr. D. T. Jolly reported. The idea is to keep a family together during an important stage in the development of the family — the addition of a new member -- which usually involves separating the mother from the family for a period of time. So long as it doesn't in- crease the risk of infection to the newborn it's a good idea, he said, and in places where it has been tried there have been no significant increases in infections. The family visiting program. is. an addition to two other special programs already in place at the Wingham hospital: extended visiting •privileges for fathers, and a rooming -in program • for mother and baby. Since early 1978 a father has been able to visit mother and'baby in their room, and to touch, hold and help feed the baby, between noon and 830p.m. The rooming -in program, also available for several years, allows a mother to have the infant with her in the room all 'the time, in- stead of in the nursery. It is available if the mother requests it and her doctor agrees, Dr. Jolly explained, but is subject to the consent of a roommate or wardmates if the mother is :not in a private room. The request rate has been very low, he added — only about one in 100 — which is just as well since if everyone wanted it the hospital couldn't accommodate it. Not all mothers know it's available, he said, and not all want it; some need the rest. These programs are at- tempts to make the hospital stay less traumatic emotionally, he expiainedes noting that one of .the benefits of advances in disease control has been to permit doctors and nurses to spend more time dealing with the psychological aspects of a stay in hospital. The changes have been slow in coming because the medical profession has learned it must proceed carefully, but they are beginning to appear more and more often. Mrs. Lee reported the idea of family visiting came from, looking at other hospitals which have tried it and from nursing journals. "This type off visiting between siblings and the newborn is a much better way of introducing the new- born into the family unit," she said. There is less jealousy when the baby.s arrives at home.

During a meeting of the fundraising committee last week, it was reported that due to a miscalulation in the budget, the centre will be short approximately $2,000 next month and doesn't expect additional funding from Adult Services, from which it derives most of its grants, until January. Louise Merritt, secretary for the board of directors, explained that the centre cannot borrow money from a bank because funds expected after January are already committed to other areas. Rita Rice, the centre supervisor, said that support from the local community is necessary in order to help alleviate the immediate problem and to keep the facility operating properly in the future. Committee members, Mrs. Merritt, Miss Rice, Harold Wild and George Taylor, explained that together with random donations, the centre needs 4 sponsors to commit a certain anigunt of money at regular intervals. The committee decided to solicit area municipal councils for donations: Grey, Morris, Culross, East and West Wawanosh, and Tins nberry township councils, and Teeswater and Lucknow village councils. Plans are also being made to present a talk on the centre to the various service clubs. The centre is currently operating on a few private donations, grants from Adult Services, membership fees, and receives its physieal facility, the Wingham Armouries, free from .the Wingham Town Council Organized to provide recreation and information for Wingham and area homebound individuals, it features information seminars, crafts, exercises, games and a hot lunch for the clients. A group of volunteers drive the residents to and from their homes, while the centre pays for gas. To date there are about 75 individuals taking ad- vantage of the program. ,.•••••••••••VOIVICur. l• • away Friday in University Hospital, London.
