I have been through a similar experience with my daughter. What I really like about your story is the kindness and humanity of the staff. They remembered all the little things that make so much difference to both the child and his parents. Okay, so HMC is bureaucratic, disorganized and unhelpful on the administrative side, but the actual healthcare professionals sound wonderful.

I am glad your little boy is fine and I hope he enjoys telling all his friends the gory story of his tonsils.
