Pneumonia
by Mother of 1.5 year old
on September 30, 2010
Specialty :Respiratory Disorders
My little 1.5 year old daughter had a bad case of pneumonia and had to be hospitalized last month at Sick Kids...the care they gave her was very comprehensive, child friendly and she had an amazing recovery. The play/ family rooms are great and the experience although very stressful had a happy ending.
