"Thank You"

About: Colchester General Hospital

Further to my Son’s surgery on Friday 8th September 2017 I would like to say a big thank you to all the team.

My Son has Aspergers and ADHD and was incredibly worried about having a cannula.

His condition means he is normally very anxious and on Friday his anxiety was heightened.

Fortunately this was taken into account by the team, he was offered the mask before he had the cannula and was put first on the list to make it easier for him because he was so anxious.

I would like to thank them all on behalf of my Son, and a massive thank you from me for making a very stressful day easier.

Not everyone, medically trained or not, has an understanding of how a youngster feels with the conditions he has but on Friday not only did they understand about my Son they understood my feelings as well.

Thank you again for the care and attention we both received.

Best wishes to you all
