He was taken to the medical center by Life Flight; which saved time in getting him to the specialized equipment and doctors needed. Chad stayed at the hospital three weeks. While there he was treated very kind and with much love. The personnel there, along with the doctors and nurses, are professionals. They not only know what they are doing, but show great and sincere concern. Chad now is living a very normal life with the help of medication. Open heart surgery will have to be done eventually, but with the help of Dr. Veasy and others, it may not have to be done until he is an adult. "We are very fortunate and grateful for this marvelous and wonderful medical center. If it wasn't for Life Flight, Dr. Veasy and many other doctors, the advanced ad-vanced equipment there, Chad would not be with us today, " Annette An-nette noted. "We sincerely hope that when a volunteer knocks at your door you will be very generous. This hospital is saving a lot of lives. Hopefully you won't need it, but if you do or some loved one of yours does, take great pride in knowing you helped in helping this great hospital. We thank you with all our heart and Chad does, too," Annette stated. Chad Mills |
