Hats off to Shriners
Yesterday we took Prema to Shriners Hospital in Tampa for an orthopedic evaluation. This has been our third visit to a local children's hospital for something with Prema. Our Shriners visit was awesome. The place doesn't feel, look or smell like a hospital. The staff is very nice, efficient, knowledgeable and happy to work with you. And in just one visit we Prema had an x ray taken, examined by a PT and nurse practitioner, and molded for shoe inserts in 2 1/2 hours for free. We go back at the end of the month to pick up the inserts and then again in 6 months for follow up. It was recommended that Prema has private PT for the next 6 months in addition to the PT she is receiving at school in order to build up her strength and balance more. Thank you Shriners!

How did you hear about the Shriners and the evaluation they would do? That is just so awesome that an organization like that is available to help children. How awesome and it sounds like they really know what they are doing. It will be great for Prema. Will the school do the private pt, or can you do that through the Shriners too?
I am so happy for Prema. It will be great for her to have better strength and mobility.
