Always Amazed

If you haven't been following my posts, I am so amazed at the care we receive at Duke Children's. I wanted to share with you an example of their commitment. Here is a copy of the e-mail I sent to his medical team at 9:39pm :


Dear Team,

I'm really not sure who I am supposed to e-mail about scheduling, Andrew McQueen, has an appointment with Dr. Grant on July 14th. We have noticed an increasing "attitude" for about a month, as well as lower energy for about that long. Now, he has complained of dizziness for 2 days. He also needed assistance walking once yesterday and once today. I was wondering if we should get an MRI scheduled sooner?


Thank-you,

Here is the reply we received at 9:43pm :


Hi there. We will try to move things up to see him sooner.
Latonya will give you a call.

And the reply we received at 9:46pm :

Yes, we can see him earlier as necessary. However, i would be at the ISPNO meeting from June 29th through the 3rd.

I am just amazed that within 7 minutes, we had received 2 replies. Did I mention that I love them? Also pray, or cross your fingers, or whatever you do. Keep Andrew in your thoughts.
