Oh my!......Melissa has not been to a doctor here for a follow up
since our return!
We have followed up via e mail with Dr. Kruschinski.......and that
has consisted of reporting to him her surgery aches and pains,
how she is feeling week by week, etc.
My future daughter in law, Monica, took Melissa's photos from her
surgery with Dr. Kruschinski to work with her........she happens to
work for the dcotor that saw Melissa when she first became ill at 13.
This doctor was the one that admitted her to the hospital and ran many tests
but admittedly told us he was baffled by her symptoms and he referred
us to Ft. Worth Texas to a pediatric gastrentrologist.
Monica said he was thrilled Melissa has finally been helped & has
a good success story, as he has seen Melissa many years....and
he often times had us sneak in the back door because Melissa was so
horribly
sick with a migraine.....( I do think this doctor thought I was on "The road
to
nowhere" as I searched for help....as he knew I did not accept the Crohn's,
IBS, spastic colon diagnosis--however, he never told me he did not agree--
only listened and shook his head).
He always just did what he could to help Melissa with her migraines.
I DO intend to send a letter with photos to ALL the doctors that have seen
Melissa!!!There are two in particular I intend to make appointments with
and hand deliver ---as Melissa was treated horribly by them........one is
head of gastroenterology in a larger area and was Melissa's doctor for 7
years--until the day he ordered us OUT of his office. (I chalk that day up
as
a blessing from heaven)!
Believe me, I intend to cover each and every doctor---I believe this is the
only
way to bring awareness to them........yes, they may dismiss it, but
I want them to KNOW she was not what many of them wrote in her medical
files! .
Thanks for the inquiry!
Sincerely,
Karen

Karen,
--
After you returned from Germany,
What did Mellissa Doctors say about her wonderful recovery from adhesions?
Do they belive now?
Did you go for a check up at a surgeon or PCP? Does Dr. Krushinski
recommends you follow up with whom?
