CH CH CHANGES

So Doctors Hospital said that they would have to change the charter of the hospital to be able to treat Shira since she is only 13, which isn't going to happen any time soon, so we are moving to plan B.  Dr Henderson spoke with a Neurosurgeon Dr.Sandhu who is with Georgetown University Hospital and he has agreed to take Shira as a patient. We feel comfortable with this as Dr.Sandhu trained under Dr Henderson and  another mom, who's 11 year old was recently operated on by Dr Sandhu, raved about him. Tomorrow, I will start the phone calls to his office to make sure the process is expedited.

While Dr Henderson was my first pick, the hospitals' he uses are small and perhaps with all of Shira's possible complications it will be for the best to be at a large teaching hospital . As always, we know Shira wil be doing the majority of the teaching to all those medical residents and Drs, as she is 1 in a million.

As Shira's Auntie Monica said," let's keep everything crossed that Shira gets onto an OR table soon "

Shira and I are keeping the faith, eating chocolate and catching up on trash TV.
