As for US hospitals being just out to make money, I have to disagree, yes they do need to make money, but they also are so reliant on their reputation to keep people coming through the door. There is a terrific amount of competition between US hospitals because there are so any of them (I should know, my fiance's work involves assessing the functionality of hospitals in California, where he is based.)<br /><br />Just don't let yourselves feel pushed into making a snap decisionMichaela :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12574123504652787943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009025478560754062.post-10524076482271191872011-08-21T15:13:26.492-07:002011-08-21T15:13:26.492-07:00I think you are right to look at all the options a...I think you are right to look at all the options and all the information you can, it's clearly major surgery. The way I would look at it is do the benefits out way the risk? We all learn to cope with the situations we are put in good or bad but I can understand how your decision is so important. As his loving mummy you can only do what you think is best . :) he is clearly a happy and bright little boy :)Michaela :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12574123504652787943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009025478560754062.post-81219895099682817782011-08-21T15:05:13.877-07:002011-08-21T15:05:13.877-07:00Hol, its a nightmare, i am going over and over it ...Hol, its a nightmare, i am going over and over it in my mind. i want to say no way, like i did at Nickie's the other night. but from the research we have done on those who have had it, the gnreal idea is that they would do it all again in a heartbeat. <br /><br />i just hate the thought that we might do it and will resent it if it all goes wrong :/Michaela :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12574123504652787943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009025478560754062.post-43194550217404190782011-08-21T14:58:07.153-07:002011-08-21T14:58:07.153-07:00i to wouldnt know where to start.
