My mom would take me always on a Friday. I got the day off from school which was a treat in itself.
We took a Bus a train and then another bus to the Childrens Hospital. I never did pft's or anything like that, just had a regular Dr. visit basically. My lungs werent involved at that point yet so they were sort of ignored. They weighed me, listened to my lungs, heart, tapped here tapped there, felt my belly, weighed me asled me a bunch of questions and that was it. They did do xrays every 6 months and each time i remember them saying they were good.
When we left we would stop by the gift shop and my mom wuold let me pick something out. Then we would get off the train close to my grandparents house and go to lunch on the way there. Then had dinner at grandmas when my dad would get there after work ( he worked 3 blocks away fromm their house) and then we all drove home. ( sigh) Gosh i miss those days

My clinic trips were always a big event! The whole family traveled into NYC (about 2 hour car ride) and went to clinic. Just the car ride was exciting - toll booths and the GW Bridge! After clinic we would all go to lunch and then a trip to a hot spot - zoo, Statue of Liberty.

Wow, I really feel like we're missing out! My boys are soooo stressed and cranky after clinic that they only want to head home. I am the one who feels the need to celebrate the departure. Starbucks, Au bon pain and Bertucci's are all at the hospital, but NOOOO gotta run. Even if we are all starving.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif" border="0">
