I know I've said it before, but we have found some wonderful doctors in Colorado through Colorado Children's Hospital. They have such a seamless network that you can talk to one doctor and the next doctor you speak to picks up exactly where you left off with the first one. I continue to be amazed by the service and care that they provide.
Today was no exception. This morning I took Sarah to their Spinal Defects Clinic. This is an all-morning clinic that is set up for kids with spinal cord injuries or spina bifida. They check you in, assign you to a room, and then one by one a large rotation of doctors and nurse practitioners comes to your room. You get all of your appointments done at once instead of going to multiple appointments at different times on different days, and all the doctors are there in one place to discuss your case. At one point we had at least five people watching what Sarah was doing and discussing the best course of action for her.
By the end of the morning she was tired and didn't want to talk to anybody else, but I felt like they truly had a good understanding of what was going on with her and what her needs were going forward. I don't know that I have ever felt that confident with any of her doctors in the past. Not that they weren't good and didn't ease my concerns, these guys just did it better.
I cannot explain how happy I am that we have found such a fabulous medical staff. And I know that even if we were to leave Colorado sometime in the near or far future (no plans to do that right now, just saying), I am confident that we could keep coming back for our yearly visit to the Spinal Defects Clinic and continue to get exactly what we need.
When you have a child with crazy medical needs that you think nobody understands, this is huge.
