The A-Team

We had our meeting with Ira's docs on Wednesday afternoon. We had questions for them ranging from, "Who is our first contact if we think Ira is sick or needs professional help?" to "Can we take Ira out of the house?" to "Is having a dog okay?" to "What is Ira's prognosis?"

They had questions for us, too. "What hosptial are you close to?" "You guys are planning on getting flu shots, right?" "Are you prepared for the many bumps to come and the tiring work it is to take care of a baby like Ira?"

A lot was said but the answer to the question, "What is Ira's prognosis?" sticks out to me clear as a bell. Upon hearing the question, Ira's surgeon, Dr. Stolar said, "I expect to be dancing at Ira's wedding."

There have been many doctors and health care professionals who have taken care of Ira but it's the doctors and social worker below who have followed Ira since Day One. These folks really do care about Ira. We are fortunate to know them and Ira is fortunate to be cared for by them. Without further ado, the A-Team:


From L to R: Dr. Akita, Neonatologist; Dr. Berman, Pulmonary Hypertension; Dr. Lorenz, Neonatologist; Ms. Bruskin, MSW; Dr. Stolar, Surgeon
