Thoughts & prayers for you and your family.
My guess is you and your wife went to CHOP which is an outstanding hospital and you will receive the very best care. One of the hospitals I work for sits right next to CHOP on 34th Street and if you're back in town and need to stretch your legs and just get out for a bite to eat just email me and we can head on down to Di Bruno Brothers or anywhere else.
All the best,
Jim
Yes sir, thats the one - in fact, CHOP is the only hospital that offers this particular surgery. Still not sure if we'll need it, we'll know more again at another ultrasound next week.
And thanks for the invitation! Good to know we can connect with people there if we go - we have family in Virginia and New Jersey but all at least a few hours drive.
There was kind of a (in retrospect) funny moment. The nurse was trying to reassure us of everything and let us know how good they were in Philadelphia, so she started an internet search for it and typed in CHOP Hospital (for those of you that don't know, its the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia). Coincidentally, the night before we had watched a Blue Bloods episode where Donnie Wahlberg rousted a chop shop in the Bronx, and I immediately thought NOPE, no way am I taking my wife to a hospital called CHOP. Not happening.
