SPINA BIFIDA PAGE

The people involved in Hannah's care

 


March 3, 2000
Hannah decided to take over the reception area right away, she thought she would add her 2 cents as to when appointments should be - not during nap time please! actually this lady is very helpful in making sure we don't have to drive to Hamilton too often.  Believe me it sure is appreciated!

This lady is Lida Jones, she makes sure we see all the people that we are supposed to at our visits to the clinic.

This gentleman is the Pediatrician. I forget his name (SORRY!)  Hannah is thoroughly enjoying this visit! (no pokes and prods this time! - at least not much!)

Dr DeMaria is Hannah's Urologist.  Because Spina Bifida can effect bowel & bladder control we have to continually monitor her bladder & kidneys.  Hannah has regular ultrasounds and voiding cystograms to make sure that reflux does not occur.  So far so good.  At this stage we really don't know if Hannah will have bowel & bladder control - all babies at this stage don't!

This is Hannah's neurologist Dr Hollenberg.  He performed the surgery that removed the cyst form Hannah's back.  If I may say so he did a wonderful job.

These ladies are involved with orthodics, I think.  We were to talk to them about bracing.  I'd really like to know what their names and positions are and when I do I will fill you in.
