Besides the doctors, Bell also made a point to commend the rest of the hospital staff, including the Child Life Specialist, for their “excellent care” both in the emergency room and “after the trauma.”
“Did you know that when you enter the emergency room at @childrensla you immediately get a ‘Child Life Specialist’ trained to make sure your child knows what happening?” Bell shared. “And to make sure you understand all of what’s happening and your choices? It made us feel so safe.”
“(Ps I’m not attaching a pic of the finger because there was literally burger popping out all over and it as pretty gross.)” she added.

Bellrecently opened upabout how Delta and Lincoln inspired her to sign on for the job, which required her to be away from them for long periods of time.
“I’m here a lot of hours, which means, logistically, I’m away from my kids more hours,” she toldAccess Hollywoodlast month. “And missing four or five bedtimes a week. And when I decided to take it on I was like, you know what, now that I went back and reread the scripts and watched the show, I want my girls to have this character in their life.”
“Now I see why a lot of young girls and women said, thank you for doing that show. It wasn’t just because we entertained them, it was because she was a force in their life,” theFrozenactress went on, saying that Veronica is an empowering character. “She was an example.”
