Not Good in Seattle

After many hours of unexpended tests, delays and sitting in the wait area not know what was going on, Dr Sung and five other doctors told Kristine and Mikaslyn that Mikaslyn's left hip has too much damage for them to repair.  This was a complete shock to us all.  Dr. Kit Sung had seen her X-rays and scheduled the surgery.  We believed that he was confident that he could do the reconstruction needed.  No one at Seattle Childrens at anytime indicated that there was any concern or doubt.  So after spending a few thousand dollars and many hours scheduling all the trips, logistics and equipment we find out they don't have the skills to do the job.  If this was in doubt a CT scan could have been scheduled in Missoula months ago.  That would have cost us nothing and we could have used that time to find another solution. Instead of considering Mikaslyn first she was considered something less than the most important person here.   Again the medical model completely and totally fails Mikaslyn.

We continue to search for a better options and believe that she will be completely healed.  We have God's word on this.
