accommodation near Boothe Hall Hospital manchester

[Guest guest]

Hi

I have not posted for a while. My youngest child Toby has bilateral

club feet and has been treated in Kenya where we live. I was

worried about progress so got in touch with Dr Ponseti directly and

sent him photos and x-rays. Dr P says Toby's feet have not been

corrected properly and he has 'atypical' clubfeet. other than

himself he recommended 3 doctors in Europe that we should fly to to

get treatment, as he said Toby needs to be seen by someone who is

used to atypical feet. We are making plans to go to manchester to

see Dr in a couple of weeks. We will be staying with my

parents in London (so they can look after my other two aged 5 and 3)

and I will be making weekly trips up to Manchester for what looks

like a couple of months. I wondered whether any UK parents who use

this group might be able to recommend a place to stay overnight near

the hospital as i think the return trip might be too much for one

day.

Thanks

Hi, Yolande-

I can't recommend places to stay since I'm in the U.S., but you

might consider posting on the STEPS board, or even contacting the

directors as they will surely be able to help you. http://www.steps-

charity.org.uk/home.php

Best wishes for a safe trip and successful and FAST correction for

Toby. I have heard only praises for Dr. , so I know you'll

really like her.

Please keep us posted as you're able.

Regards,

Hi Yolande

My son is being treated by Naomi, on Dr Ponseti's recommendation for

atypical bilateral clubfeet.

When we had to go weekly (500 mile round trip), we stayed in a

premier travel inn, which costs approx £50 per night for the room

and breakfast. There are quite a few of them near the hospital (up

to half an hour away). the nearest is in Manchester, Heaton Park.

The phone number in the UK is 08701 977174. It's basic, but

comfortable and a breakfast is included. It can get very pricey

staying in hotels in Manchester if you are going up every week, but

the premier travel inn's suited us fine. We used to travel up the

night before, have breakfast, then (my son) would have his

morning nap before we headed to the hospital. It's worth booking in

advance once you know your dates, as often there are concerts and

football matches in Manchester and it can sometimes be difficult to

find somewhere to stay.

If you go to the Steps website there is a discussion forum there

(like this one but on a much smaller scale), you'll find plenty of

other parents whose children have been treated by Naomi. You'll find

we all think she is brilliant, so Toby will be in good hands. the

email address is steps-charity.org.uk

Good luck,

Stella
