Childrens Hospital Boston - Round 2 - Day 1

After a delightful stay at Morristown Memorial we were finally sprung yesterday morning at 10 for our drive to Boston.

We arrived late afternoon and were admitted via the Emergency Room. It was actually quite comical to watch Cam skipping down the hallways and giggling while as they prepared to admit her to a room upstairs. We saw her neuro-oncologist yesterday in the ER and she was pleased to see Cam looking as good as she is. In fact, all of the doctors that came in were quite shocked when they compared what the chart said was her diagnosis to her demeanor and we are quite pleased to confusing them this way for once.

She was admitted to a private room since she is on precautions due to the meningitis - which is nice! Though it does have its disadvantages as she won't be allowed out to the play room. Oh well...we are hoping that the stay isn't so long that it becomes an issue.

This morning we are waiting to see the Infectious Disease doctors as well as the neuro-surgery team. Dr.Lee (the neuro-oncology attending) also mentioned that they are going to put her films up during the oncology/radiology/neuro-surgery "conference" so that everyone can weigh in on her - unbelieveable how many people are looking at this now.

No doubt, we will be out of here in no time. In fact, last night Cam was ready to "bust out of this joint...." - maybe a little too optimistic.

With Love,

Greg, Robin, Caitlin, Caroline and Campbell
