-Hello!

-Hello!

BOTH: It's us!

-Topsy...

-..and Tim!

I'm in hospital.

Come and see!

I've been in hospital for two days.

Mummy sleeps next to me on a camp bed.

Even though I'm getting much better,

Dr Walton wants me to stay in hospital

until she's sure I'm not going to get poorly again.

Are you awake, twin-tastic Topsy?

Morning, Mummy.

-Morning. How are you feeling?

-A bit better, thanks.

Morning, Topsy.

-Breakfast.

-Hi, Gloria.

I've got orange juice and cereal for you.

'Every day, Gloria brings round food for us.

'Breakfast, lunch and tea. Gloria's very nice.'

-Is that OK? Is that enough?

-Yes, thank you.

-Is that all right?

-Lovely, thank you.

-Thank you.

'Gloria leaves a form for me to tick

'to say what I'd like for my lunch and tea.'

Hmm.

Sausages or pasta?

I don't know. I love them both.

Pasta.

Here you go.

Thank you.

You must be feeling better.

Definitely, if you're enjoying your food.

-I am, thank you, Tai.

-Oh.

Right, I'm going to get a cup of tea.

-Mwah! I won't be long, Topsy.

-OK.

Enjoy.

-Hello, Topsy.

-Hello, Nurse Yolanda.

-Snap! Look! You're wearing bunches like me.

-I am!

-Sorry to interrupt your breakfast, but is it OK if I do your obs?

-OK.

Right, I'll just get this plugged in.

'"Obs" is short for observations.

'Lots of times during the day,

'the nurse has to check to see if I'm OK.'

-What are you having for breakfast today?

-Cornflakes.

-Lovely.

Can you just hold your right hand like this? I'll just put on your...

'She clips something to my finger, on this hand.'

Just going to wrap this round your arm. Thank you, Topsy.

You're a professional at this now.

-'Yolanda wraps a band around my arm.'

-Perfect.

'It feels funny, like it's squashing me, but it doesn't hurt.'

MACHINE BUZZES

That's great. Well done, Topsy.

So you'll be pleased to know

that your blood pressure and your heart rate are normal.

I'll just make a note of that in your charts.

And the last thing I need to do is just check your temperature.

I'm just going to pop this in your ear.

Good girl. Lovely, thank you.

My mummy says I should never put anything in my ear.

Your mum's right. Ah, good! It's a normal temperature.

You're doing very well today, Topsy.

-Does that mean I can go home today, please?

-We'll have to wait and see.

Your temperature was a little too high last night

and Dr Walton wants to make sure you are feeling well

-before she lets you go home.

-But I feel better.

And you're looking better too.

In fact...

I think you can get changed out of your pyjamas today and help me.

We've got a new patient arriving.

-She'll need someone to look after her.

-I'd love that.

-Great.

She's called Molly, she's the same age as you and she'll be coming soon.

-As soon as Mummy is back, I'll get changed.

-Good. I'll just unplug this

and let you enjoy your breakfast. See you in a bit.

'I get washed and dressed in normal clothes

-'for the first time since Saturday.'

-Topsy!

-This is Molly.

-Hi!

-Hi, Molly!

-Hi!

Molly's broken her leg very badly.

-Oh, no!

-Whoa, how did you do that?

I fell off my scooter.

It really hurts.

Ouch.

You can knock on my cast if you want.

I won't feel it.

You've been very brave.

-Hi, I'm Joy, I'm Topsy's mum.

-Are you sure I can knock on your cast?

-Yes!

Whoa, it's really hard!

Yes, the cast keeps Molly's leg still and straight so the bones can mend.

Yolanda, please can I take Molly to the play zone?

Ah, not today, Topsy.

Molly has to stay in bed and rest.

-But you can help me.

-How?

By being Nurse Topsy.

You can start by reminding Molly what obs are, please.

Well, obs, you have to give Yolanda...

'I explained to Molly what obs are

'and showed her what to do.' And it will go orange in a second.

'After her obs, Molly's curtains are drawn so she can have a sleep.

'I have pasta for lunch, and strawberry yoghurt.'

Topsy, you've eaten really well. You must have been hungry.

It was really nice. 'And then...'

-Hello, Topsy! Hello, Joy.

-Hi, Jean!

Grandma! '..it's visiting time!'

Topsy!

Let me give you a very gentle hello-Grandma huggle and no squeeze.

-Aww!

-I love you, Grandma.

I love you too and I've been so worried about you, Topsy.

-How are you feeling?

-Better, thanks, now.

-Good.

How was your holiday, Grandma?

-And how's Mossy?

-She's OK.

We've had a wonderful week walking in the countryside.

Can I sit down?

Right.

Let me show you a photo

of Mossy and me

on a hill.

Now, put it on.

Photos.

-What do you think of that?

-TOPSY GIGGLES

Doesn't she look funny?

'Mossy is Grandma's dog.

'She's a very funny dog and we love her.'

It was a very windy day, can you see?

'And then someone else comes to visit.'

-Hello, Joy.

-Hello, Mr Rosen!

-Hello, Mr Rosen.

-Hello, Topsy!

-Mr Rosen!

Your dad told me you were in Daisy Ward,

so I thought, as I'm here to have a check-up on my leg,

I'd pop up and say a quick hello.

-Aww, sit down, Mr Rosen, please.

-Thank you.

-Now...

if you're feeling a bit better, Topsy,

-you could try one of my home-made crunchy oat biscuits.

-Yes, please!

Yes, please!

Oh, yes, please!

-There we go.

-Oh, yum, thank you!

-Mmm!

-Lovely!

Molly's awake!

-Hi, Molly!

-Hi!

-Say hello to my new friend Molly, Mr Rosen.

-Hello, Molly!

-Hi!

-Molly, this is my grandma and this is my friend Mr Rosen.

Hello, Molly!

-Would you like a biscuit?

-Yes, please!

-I'll bring one over to you.

Careful.

All right?

You take the tin, all right?

-Here you go.

-Thank you!

-Molly's broken her leg.

-Oh!

Oh, dear.

I broke my leg once.

When I was a little boy.

It was the first day of the summer holidays.

I spent the whole of the holiday with a cast on my leg.

The only thing that made me feel better

-was all the drawing we did on it.

-You drew on your leg?

On the cast, yes, and my friends did too.

Lots of funny things.

I used to look at them all and they cheered me up.

Oh, that reminds me.

I...

There might just be something

in my wheelie bag

to keep you and Molly busy for a little while. Have a look, Topsy.

-Are these pens for me?

-They certainly are.

A little get-well present for my dear friend Topsy.

-Thank you, Mr Rosen.

-My pleasure.

Shall we draw on your cast now, Molly?

- Would that be OK, Mummy? - Sure, I don't see why not.

Well, I'll leave you and Molly to decorate the cast.

-Get well soon, Topsy.

-Bye!

-Bye!

-Thank you!

-Thank you!

Bye!

It's such a good idea...

'I do a secret heart drawing on the bottom of Molly's cast.'

This is looking great, you'll love this.

Are you finished yet, Topsy?

-Nearly.

-Oh!

-I've drawn...

-I like that.

-Thank you. ..my dog Mossy...

-Oh, you have!

-Yeah!

..saying...

"Get...well soon...Molly!"

-Aww!

-Thank you!

-That's all right.

-What have you drawn, Topsy?

I can't see the bottom of my foot.

It's a secret and you can only see when you take your cast off.

Thank you. I'm so happy you're in hospital with me, Topsy.

I really like you being in hospital with me too.

We're going to have so much fun.

Hello, everyone.

Oh, great.

-I love signing casts.

-Hi, Dr Walton.

Hello.

Now, I'd like to have a chat with Topsy

about going home.

-What do you think about that?

-Oh...

OK.

Let's go over to your bed and have a chat about it, OK?

You just make yourself comfortable.

Shall I prop her on the bed, Dr Walton?

Good girl.

There you go.

Right.

-There you go.

-OK.

How are you feeling, Topsy?

Much better, thanks.

Good.

Right, I want you to just lie down

so I can have a feel of your tummy.

Just going to lower the bed a bit.

That all right?

It's good fun, isn't it?

OK.

Let's see.

How does that feel? Is it sore?

It feels funny,

but it doesn't really hurt any more.

Excellent!

OK! Well, I think you're well enough to go home tomorrow.

-Tomorrow?

-Topsy, that's great!

-Fantastic!

That's brilliant news. We can go and see Dad...

-TIM:

-'And that's when Topsy said, "But what about Molly?"'

But what about Molly?

I won't be able to see her and I've only just met her.

Well, I'll still have to see you tomorrow morning,

so you'll have plenty of time together.

Maybe you could both go to the play zone together tomorrow.

Can we?! Please!

Yes! That'll be fine.

Molly, we can go to the play zone tomorrow.

MOLLY: Yes!

-TIM:

-'And that, said Topsy and Molly, was that.'

It will be so fun.

BOTH: Hello!

Are you good at remembering?

Can you remember what happened to us today?

This is our Topsy & Tim memory game!

Let's play.

Today, Mr Rosen visited me in hospital.

He gave me a present.

Can you remember what it was?

Was it a sticker book?

Or some felt-tip pens?

The answer is behind the jigsaw piece.

Look! The answer is felt-tip pens.

Watch this.

There might just be something in my wheelie bag

to keep you and Molly busy for a little while. Have a look, Topsy.

-Are these pens for me?

-They certainly are.

A little get-well present for my dear friend Topsy.

-Thank you, Mr Rosen.

-My pleasure.

Shall we draw on your cast now, Molly.

-Would that be OK, Mummy?

-Sure, I don't see why not.

Well, I'll leave you and Molly to decorate the cast.

Get well soon, Topsy!

Great game!

That was good fun.

See you soon.
