To switch or not to switch....

Hey there!

I hope everyone is doing well.  I cant believe that summer is coming to an end.. Bummer!  We really didn't get to enjoy the last month of summer like we would have liked to!  However there is a end in sight.  The casts come off for good on Friday and we cant wait!!! I think I should throw a party or something to celebrate.  We are really looking forward to see how the new AFO braces work with his "new" feet.  We are hopeful and optimistic.

As for the title of my post well.... we are trying to decide if we want to switch where we have been taking Westin for his Spina Bifida care in the cities.  While we "like" the Dr's and they are "nice"  those are not reasons enough to keep us there.  We aren't looking for "OK" care for our son, we are looking for the "best" care.  Everytime we leave the Childrens hospital we say the same thing.  We are frustrated, we feel like are concerns are pushed to the side and that we are told the same exact thing the person before us was told.  

I want individualized care for Westin.  He deserves the best chance possible at everything he does and everything that is thrown his way.  I have started to be in contact with a few other moms that have also recently made the switch from our current hospital to the new one we are looking at going to.  They have all said the same thing.. We wish we would have switch sooner.

I have received the name of the lady who runs the Spina Bifida Clinic at the " new hospital" so I will be in contact with her soon to figure out the process of getting set up with a tour so we can see if we think it would be a better fit for us as well as Westin.

More to come.......
