Today I got a call from the patient advocate at Cincinnati Children's who worked Thomas's case. I originally heard from him right after I sent the original e-mail (you can read it here -- http://hoosierinthehive.blogspot.com/2009/11/long-time-no-blog.html) just saying that I had given them all the information they needed and he would get a response back to me as soon as possible. It took longer than I expected, but the results were better than I expected.
I was told that the details of Thomas's experience went all the way up to the Director of Anesthesiology as well as the Director of Residency. The individual resident and anesthesiologist were spoken to about the incident and Thomas's case will be used as an example in their teaching of what *not* to do.
That's all we ever hoped for -- to avoid something similar happening to another kid.
