Waiting To Be Discharged


After Cole was born and his initial surgery, we spent a few more weeks hanging around in the hospital waiting to be discharged. We saw dozens of doctors, nurses, and specialists of all manner. He didn't seem to mind the stay too much, especially with everyone's attention. We are especially grateful for the onslaught of doctors and nurses who partnered with us, trained us, considered us part of the program, and really cared for Cole on the nights when one of us couldn't stay over.
           
We're very lucky to live so close to such a terrific facility such as Primary Children's Medical Center. Everyone associated with Cole's care was clearly professional and competent. We count ourselves even more lucky with the dozen or so staff members who went out of their way and helped us through such a hectic time. We learned a lot from them and, while we don't look forward to having to go back, we know when we do they remember Cole and are excited to see us - even if not under the best of circumstances.
