Dr. Boachie Nominated for CNN Heroes Tribute

[susannajon]

Hello all,

I nominated my daughter's surgeon, Dr. Boachie at HSS, for this special on CNN, and I just heard back from the producers that he's been selected as a possible finalist! The producer asked me if I knew of any other people who would be willing to speak to CNN about their experiences with Dr. Boachie. It could be patients, nurses, parents, anyone. I know he's made a difference in so many lives. If you want to help get him on the show, please send me a PM with your email address and or phone number, and I will pass it on to the producer. She asked that I try to get her some other names within 72 hours.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Susanna!

How nice to see a post from you! How is your daughter doing?

What an awesome thing you did for Dr. Boachie-he certainly deserves it. I'm sure you'll have many people singing his praises.

Hi Renee,

How's your son doing? My daughter is doing really well. She's 2.5 years post-op, and the surgery feels like something that happened in the distant past. She is having scar revision surgery over Christmas break, because she has a wicked 24 incher that has some adhesions and such, but that's a small price to pay for being pain free and having a straight back (not to mention being able to breathe).

Hope you're doing well too!

Susanna

Just saw that your 9 year old was just diagnosed. My ten year old nephew also... My fingers are crossed for you.
