CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Prayers for my son, Christopher

Thank you all. We have an appointment today at 2:00 p.m. with oncology/hematology in-clinic and then MRI sometime around 4, when they can fit him in. I was relieved yesterday to just get him in today. I will let you all know when we know something. Thanks again, so very much!

After all the hours spent at the hospital, the hour wait in the MRI waiting area, with my hubby in his scrubs and C in his hospital clothes.... this is what I posted an hour ago:
This is really, really, really disappointing. Gonna take a minute to not cry after all the stress of getting him in for an MRI this afternoon, waiting for an hour and then told they can't do it til they get records from Seattle about type of metal in his catheter. Told them it's not a shunt and was told it's not metal. It's never been a problem before. I don't even know what to say. *feeling frustrated*
It was really longer than an hour. We were supposed to have an appointment at 4:30, but were held up with the clinic apptmt til 4:50, and so we got there around a little after 5, and by 6:30, they came and told us this.
I was so angry that I could barely speak to the woman. She was trying to tell me he has a metal thing in his head. I told her he has a small catheter that we were told was plastic. It's never been a problem before. I was livid because they said they couldn't do it without Seattle's hospital records of what type of metal was the item. She tried to say a shunt and the catheter were the same thing, but saw my expression, which I was thinking "Don't you think I don't know the difference...I know the difference and you're not getting that by me"), and quickly said they weren't the same, but they're both metal. Yeah, ok. Poor kid, and I was about in tears over this. We are supposed to go back tomorrow evening around 6, but probably be a little later than that, and that depends on if they can get the records from Seattle. The only records they got were from Denver. Even though all the Children's Hospitals in the States are networked, they can't seem to just access the records online. Probably the stupid HIPPA thing. Anyway, I was just so livid I could barely speak. Probably because of all the stress we went through through the day over this. But mostly because he doesn't have a shunt and his catheter is a tiny plastic round thing in the back middle of his head. anyway, so much for that. Hopefully they'll get the records tomorrow. All I've gotta say is that every single medical issue we've tried to set up for our boys in this state have been dismal, convoluted and horrible. I don't know if it's the state or the change in healthcare overall. But hubby said it's this state and it goes all the way back to Romney's set up in this state. Well, it stinks on ice is all I've gotta say on that.

Oh Dorothea what an awful experience !
Poor Christopher having to go through that - knowing he was supposed to be getting a scan and then waiting and hanging around , and it didn't happen
Why couldn't they have contacted you and said we don't have his full records yet ?
Prayers continue

Continued prayers.
So sorry that you had to go through all of that. Frustration is so much harder to deal with sometimes because of the worry.
I pray you will all have peace and comfort, and that everything will go more smoothly for his next appointment and all the news will be good.
God bless you and yours. +++
