    Hi Mark850,

    That is horrible about your son. I'm sorry to hear about that. It sounds to me that he is a tough little man and a true fighter. I wish him all the best and I hope things look up for your family here on out.

    Regards
    Anri

    @Mark: So sorry to hear about your son. My best wishes for you and your family.

    Also great work with the hood - looks amazing.

    Thanks for all of the well wishes for my son. I'm in the Roxborough / Manayunk area Zatman. I'm actually at the hospital now for a follow up for his vocal chords ( they injected them with a botox type of fluid to close them so he can speak.

    As far as the price of the hoods, they were $1450 and now dropped to $1250 + S/H.

    @Zatman. I thought CHOP was the best Children's Hosp in the world, and is said to be. My son has spent the better part of 14yrs under this one roof. I can't believe they sent their cardiac patient with a HUGE history home that night in Nov. I forgot to mention, they did give him 2 cans of Gatorade that first night there before they sent us on our way. I can see if they never saw him before, but with his history at CHOP and his Pediatrician being a CHOP Dr. His entire life is in their system. They should've kept Marco that night. I brought him in on Nov 22nd and they didn't get him in the operating room till Dec 3rd!!!! I think if they admitted Marco that night they would've found the infection sooner and been able to treat it without major surgery.In 13yrs, I've seen so many children die. Had a front row seat for many. It's even worse when you get close with the parents.

    Mark,

    Words cannot express my feelings about now. All I know is that no one should go through the tragedy you and your family have been through. As a father myself, if it was me I would seek legal councel against the Hospital just to help with the medical costs. Especially with the knowledge and history of your dear child in their system, they were wrong. It won't help your son out of his present situation, but it could help you recover financially. My prayers will be with your son & your family.

    Steve, Jef and Starship, wonderful offers and I think this is great that with a small idea there is already over 400 pledge. Unless our friend objects, what should be done is the establishment of a beneficial account at his local or a local area bank. They'll need a tax id or ss number. I can look into this in principal locally, it was something I established for a friend who lost his four year old daughter in a fire a decade ago. I do not want to be involved in handling any funds as I professionally should not be handling, and even doing this personally runs afoul of regs, best practices, etc. that I am bound by. But lets make it happen and see it through. I'm very reachable by private message. Office is 401 43three 1100 if anyone wants to discuss anything. And, while this goes without saying to most, the financial burden on Mark must be unbearable. Missing work, less productivity at work, losing job, cost of being at the hospital, parking, food, cell phone, unreimbursed medical and medicine costs, potential legal and other professional fees, nevermind having to part with his treasured 850. Thinking this can also go over to the general interest section of the site or be handled/assisted through social media.

    CHOP does have a good reputation so your experience is troubling... My kids also go to a chop pediatrician and the care has been very good. Fortunately, apart from sports injuries they are healthy but your experience does give us pause.

    I related your experience to a couple of cardiologist today and they are equally surprised given the history of the child. Let me know if you want someone else to review although I suspect that you now have the best chop minds working on your son's case. I'll send you a pm with my contact info.
    Take care - I shall pray for Marco.

    A few years back, I joined in a fundraiser organized by a BMW CCA local chapter which was a very well organized 'navigation / clue hunt drive'. It was a great way to combine the love of cars & driving that we have with a fundraising element for a good cause.

    Perhaps we could do the same in this eastern pa, MD, NJ, va, DC, area....

    Right on Zatman, Paypal wasn't around when I organized this for my friend's family. It makes it simple and safe. With Mark's email it can be sent right to him.

    My problem isn't with his Dr's.. It's with the Emergency Dept.. When they did admit him, they put him on the respitory floor ( the 8th floor ) after that, they moved him to the 7th floor. Just so you know, cardiac is on the 6th floor. Marco's Dr's are the best in their field. It just took 2 days in the hospital to get him to the right floor.. And if it wasn't for his pediatrician sending him when I followed up with her, I would've found my son dead in his bed within days..

    As far as a fund goes, I really appreciate the effort from all, but it isn't really needed, I'll get by somehow, I always do.. The family here I became to know over the years is awesome!! And some of you know that! You're a great group of guys and gals..

    Understood but take it anyway. Pay a bill... buy boring stuff... or something for MrsMark850... or a present for Marco. All we need is an email for Paypal. PM will work if you don't want to broadcast.

    Check your e-mail. My oldest son Russell is Marco's age and I know I will be devastated if something like this happened to him.

    Take care brother.
