Floridaborn, only you can make that decision.

I do charity work. A few years ago, we had a baby who needed a shunt put in for CFS. After a few months, the baby rejected the shunt and a second operation was performed. Dr. Spitali, at CMC, did both operations in consultation with other international doctors. As far as we were concerned, his work was caring, skilled, and professional.

The baby came to us badly malnourished and with a host of other problems. Dr. Spitali put together a team to work together to insure that the baby was in good health before and after the operations.

Addressing your concerns about what will happen when Dr. Spitali is not there, are you aware that Dr. Spitali lives about 3 minutes away? Unless he told you that he is leaving on a vacation, I believe, should a crisis occur, he will always be close at hand and just a phone call away.

Best of luck making your decision. I imagine it is agonizing. I wish your husband well, and hope is recovery is smooth and speedy.
