Ryan Mander, 14, of Graveley Crescent, Lancing, has been a patient in the Bluefin Ward since December 2.
He said: “I spend most of my time in the playroom. It’s fun and takes away the boredom of sitting down all day.”
Christie Deniese, the hospital’s play specialist, added: “All the toys are a great distraction from pain and they get so excited.”
