Great info. 5*

Good info thanks

Unfortunately my childhood was filled with hospitals. I practically lived at Johns Hopkins for the first 2 years of my life, and had many more hospital visits while growing up. I am in my mid-20's and I'm proud to say I have survived 10 surgeries. Having a child with medical issues is one of the scariest things a family can go through, but I'm glad that my parents loved me and supported me through it all. Even if that meant saying "no" to a procedure, demanding a different doctor/nurse, or driving 1.5 hours to the hospital every single day after work. Thank you for writing this.

Very detailed and excellent article. This is an article that needed to be written.

Great advice. My oldest son had 6 surgeries by his 6th birthday. I learned early on to be his medical advocate. My 2nd son had 3 surgeries. Thank God, my youngest, now 18 has never had to stay in the hospital for anything, not even tonsils.
