Bobby is going to be in-patient at CHOP all next week for a bunch of endocrine tests, and I'm going to be stuck there with him. Is anyone else going to be around there next week? I'd love some company!

Barb,

Patricia and I will be in next week...at least we are scheduled to be. She has surgery on tuesday, and then anticipated 2 nights on PICU. I will post more when I know it. We won't know surgery time until Monday night, and I won't have access to a computer until she is in the OR. When are you heading in?

Godspeed

Clare

Hi, Clare. I'll be so happy to meet you, though I know you'll be a bit stressed. We should be checking in Mon and staying through Friday. I think she said he'd be on the endocrine/gi floor/wing.
