Re: Update and Toronto Sick Kids contact info

[Guest guest]

Darcy:

It sounds like you have wonderfully thorough Drs! That's terrific

they'll be doing a CT scan just to be on the safe side of things.

Thank you for posting the information for others in your area to use

in the future, I'm sure that information will help several families.

Good luck with the repositioning in the mean time. I hope you see

some results with it. Please be sure you keep us posted.

Darcy,

I'm so glad to hear that you were pleased with the specialist that

you saw, that makes a huge difference! Thanks for sharing the

contact info, it sure will come in handy for future parents!

Be sure to let us know when Madeleine goes for her CT scan, and how

it goes! Good Luck!
