I haven't had to go into a children's hospital, but my sister spends a lot of time in one with Charlie. And I've visited her in a children's Ward. As you say, a happy and grim place. Also, the Ronald McDonald facilities are wonderful here too. Regularly my sister has to travel to the children's hospital in Auckland, and they stay in the R McD House. With CF, Charlie also has breathing issues, but they're chronic (at this stage) not acute, and terrifying must be the only word to describe that. All I can say is that you'll learn to live with it, add my sister does. Not a club you want to b belong to though, I know.<br /><br />Sending love and hugs.<br /><br /><br />Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448610727525586046.post-37961935634955050422017-04-23T05:37:22.291-07:002017-04-23T05:37:22.291-07:00I gasped aloud when I read what had happened earli...I gasped aloud when I read what had happened earlier this week (we were visiting T's father just diagnosed with leukemia). I can't imagine. Been doing my version of praying since. Happy she is well again. Praying she always will be. <br /><br />And on a completely writerly note, this bullet: "Getting downshifted from the PICU to a pulmonary floor is a huge letdown in terms of staff attentiveness. It's like moving from a Ritz Carlton you never wanted to go to, down to a Quality Inn you can't get out of." Perfect description.<br /><br />Will continue to keep you close.Indigo Buntinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11387698096732697805noreply@blogger.com
