Oh CHOP... We have had an ongoing disagreement with CHOP orthopedics over which pulmonologist we should see. We adore our pulm at Hopkins. She has been with Abby since the beginning and really gets the whole picture. She truly cares about Abby and we feel like she always has her best interests in mind. CHOP ortho really only seems to value the opinion of their own pulmonologist with the Center for Thoracic Insufficiency team. We have nothing against him! He is a very nice guy and very knowledgeable, but we see no need to switch pulmonologists when ours is wonderful and 2 hours closer. We don't care for the attitude of superiority we sometimes feel at CHOP and feel like all of her doctors should work together to give her the best care possible, no matter where they work! (Not to mention, Hopkins is not a two bit hospital!!) With Abby's recent lung decline and us feeling that a surgical intervention is needed, Abby's pulm has been communicatin...
Choosing joy and trusting God!
