I listen to WORD Radio on the way to school in the morning and today they were having a Radiothon for Greenville Memorial Hospital's Children Hospital. When I was listening to the couple of stories from parents who had experienced the Children's Hospital, I began thinking back to when we spent time there. In 1999 when Madelyn was born we spent 5 days in the old NICU. Now they have a great new NICU that we haven't seen, but hear it's great. When Spencer was born we spent 3 weeks in NICU, still the old one. Shortly after we came home, Spencer spiked a fever of 104 under the arm. I was such a nervous wreck I called 911 because I thought it was his heart. They refused to take us to GHS Children's Hospital, we live on the line of Spartanburg/Greenville, but are actually Spartanburg County. I asked the EMTs to leave so I could drive my son to the hospital that knows how to care for him. They did and we drove off to the hospital. We ended up having a UTI, he wasn't circumcised yet and this led to the UTI. We spent Labor weekend 2001 in the Children's Hospital. Since then we've been back for outpatient procedures.
What a great place, great doctors, great nurses, great staff and great support. They were so caring and understanding! Mike and I have the utmost respect for the Children's Hospital and GHS in general. Thank you for taking care of our little guy and supporting us and helping us in our stays at the hospital. We are lucky to have such a great resource here in the Upstate.
