Dear Lata and Deepak

It is nice to hear that plans are in place for Anushka.

I will be in touch with you directly, with some help about good places to stay.

Also, thank you for sharing the information about the cost of the treatment.

Hi all, Had nothing to contribute for some time now, but keenly reading the posts of others. We are off to London on 16th October (we live in Muscat, Oman) for appointment with Mr Collin on 18th and surgery on 19th. The first surgery is to correct her epicant (make the slit wider). The surgery will be at field's Eye Hospital at 2:30 pm and she could be discharged same day or the next. The next surgery for eyelid uplift could be 6 months later.Any suggestion where we can stay - for 8 days at least - at some econimical place?? We know that London & economy do not go together but trying!!! For those who would like to know, the cost (all in UK Pound Sterling)of the Consultations will be around 250 (pre & post surger), Surgeons fees 1,250, Anaesthesist 450, Hospital charges 1,250. Unfortunately our local insurance does not cover this as there is an exclusion for congenital cases. This is just for information and we can manage the fees but trying to keep the costs down.Kind regardsLata & Deepak

Dear Lata and Deepak,

We were in London in December 2006 and went to see Mr .

We stayed at the Holiday Inn in South Kensington and if I recall correctly it

was not

expensive - they sometimes have deals/ offers/ packages. It was clean, safe and

convenient. The tube is just across the street, there's a little supermarket,

pharmacist and

cafe across as well. It is near to some restaurants that were good and not too

pricey. The

natural history muzeum is within walking distance. If you have time before the

surgery

Anushka may like to go run around there.

All the best for the surgery!

and Ern
