In the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, I was so well taken of. There was someone with me at all times. It was overwhelming to see all the IV's and tubes, but we knew to expect it. Every day, they took away an IV or chest tube, and we could see progress. After only five days, my mom and dad took me home.
We cannot thank Children's staff enough for what they have done for us. We are so thankful and lucky to have such a wonderful hospital and staff who are knowledgeable, professional, respectful and caring. In other words, we are fortunate to have the best children's hospital in the world!
We would especially like to thank surgeon Dr. Jonas, cardiologist Marcy Schwartz, MD, and pediatrician Peter Greenspan, MD, along with all the staff at the cardiology clinic, which we continue to come to for follow-up visits every 1-2 years.
