Complaints Department Please......

Good morning to you all, hope you are all well.
 
As some of you who visited before will remember I had an appointment to see the Consultant with my Daughter and boy was I lookng forward to it. I sat and wrote down everything I could remember that had gone wrong or been messed up on since the journey began and I had cramp when I finished.
I went in armed with a four page A4 letter. He was not pleased to say the least, arguing that his Department had done all it could etc etc, didn't want the letter to read and wasn't really interested in me telling him either..... but I wasn't going to be put off...... so on I went and at one point was asked to stop shouting!!!  'Believe me this is not shouting'...,  you're saying I'd know when you were, 'Oh yes'.
Well the upshot is that at last we are moving forward. I know my Daughter is ill and all I want is her to be back to her bright sunnny self and for us to know what is wrong with her.
We are waiting for a CT scan she has been given some medication to help and is being refetterd to another specialist so I really don't care if they all thinks I'm nuts... just do your damned job.
She still has a way to go but at least we know now that they are taking notice and I won't be letting them forget about her any day soon!!
 
Just a note to let you know too that if your Grand Calibur handle drops off you cannot purchase a replacement. I emailed Spellbinders and have had a reply to say they will replace it free of charge via their representative in England. I'm chuffed to little mint balls!! In the meantime my dear Hubby has done a sterling job of fixing it so at least I can use it,. don't know how long it will last but fingers crossed. Just have to wait for the replacement now.
 
My card today peeps is for Songbird. The theme for this fortnight is
 
'Sixteen going on Seventeen'
 
So we want to see your age themed cards.
Our lovely sponsor is Joanna Sheen.
 



 
 
Recipe
 
LOTV-Party Girl,  coloured with distress markers. She is such a cutie and I love that you can add any age to the balloon, then stitched pearls around the edge/
Papers are Nit-Wit collection from LOTV, County Gent.
Lace-by Ruby Rock-It-August Moon, I add a little glue to the ends after cutting as when it dries it prevents it from fraying, stiffens it a little too.
Tag-Whimsy, Elegant  Noteables Tag 1, Sentiment LOTV.
Flowers WOC
Leaves- Martha Stewart punch
Tuille bow then added pearls and pearl brad.
Hope you all have a super day whatever you're doing.
Catch ya laters.
Hugs Sue X

    Good for you, sticking up for your daughter! It's sometimes the only way to get anything done! I sometimes think these consultants have lost sight of what they're there for! Hope she gets some positive help very soon!!! Chris

    Oh Sue, your card is lovely! I was so sorry to read of your problems though. Do send a copy of your letter to the PALS department though. Your Hospital should have one. They are supposed to be there to help! Judy x

    Sue I think your card is absolutely gorgeous, and I love those papers.

    Well done for standing your ground and hopefully your daughter will be better looked after. The NHS has really gone to hell in a handcart now. Constultants seam to have some sort of god complex, some of them anyway.
    Send a copy of your letter to the Patient's Council, they need to be told about such dreadful service. Take care, kate x

    Sue this a stunning card - the colouring is awesome and is the colours and layout! I hope you daughter gets well soon! Would you believe it the handle of my Grand Calibur snapped in two this afternoon, it is under a year old so should still be under warranty - I am waiting to hear from the company I bought it from and have contacted Spellbinders it will be interesting to see if I get a reply.

    Hugs

    Sue, congrats on being such a great advocate for your daughter--she is lucky to have you in her corner! :^)
    And I love your sweet card--darling image, great coloring, love the design and colors. :^)
    My first Grand Calibur died, and silly me, I went out and bought another one. Now I only use it for big items--everything else goes through my Big Shot. :^)

    You are so right to fight for your daughter. You know her far more than any doctor. I am glad you argued with that consultant, proud of you. Don't give up until you get answers.
    I am playing catch up with my comments at the moment, then going missing for another short time. We have now raised £10.000 towards Stacey's treatment.
