Clinics

Every time that I sign into Facebook I see parents asking which clinics in the country are the best because they are so unsatisfied with theirs, that they would be willing to move anywhere to have the opportunity to work with a better one. How sad is this? Parents are having to uproot their whole lives and the lives of their children just so that their PKUer can get decent care! I totally understand this because I am less than satisfied with Marigold's clinic, and that is one of the many reasons that we are wanting to move, but I don't have my WHOLE life set up here. Sure, my family is here, and this is where I always saw myself settling down, but moving isn't a huge deal for my husband and I. As long as he finds a job we can pretty much go anywhere as a young couple with few commitments. This is just another reason why PKU advocates need to raise awareness of the condition and the hardships that those affected by it face.
