Sofia's Adenoids

Today we took Sofia to another ENT doctor. This doctor was recommended by our pediatrician as a good doctor to use for Sofia's adenoid surgery. We had two options for Sofia's surgery. We could go to Motol Hospital and have the surgery completed for free since it would be covered by insurance or we could go to a private clinic and pay approximately $600USD. We chose to use the private clinic. You might wonder why we would e willing to pay for something that we could get for free. It isn't because the Hospital is bad becuase it isn't. It is actually a decent children's hospital. You might think it is becuase they don't speak English but that isn't it either. The main reason we have chosen to go to the private clinic is because if we go to the private clinic then Sofia will be in and out of the hospital in one day. If we go to Motol Hospital then Sofia will have to stay in the hospital for 3-4 days. It makes me laugh to think that we are paying to receive less but that is just how it is. I don't want Sofia in the hospital for 3-4 days when it isn't necessary. It will scare her to be there and she won't understand why she can't leave. It would mean that Jason would have to take 3-4 days out of work. It would also separate Sofia and Ali for 3-4 days. The separation would make both of them upset. Since they are so close in age they are really more like twins. They don't like to be apart and when they are they always ask about the other one. If they are together but one can't find the other they will cry. So for all these reasons we have chosen to pay the money and go to a private clinic. We have scheduled her surgery for May 6th so we will keep you posted.
