KYLE DID ALL OF HIS HOSPITAL CARE AT HERSHEY. HE WAS FLOWN THERE FROM LANCASTER GENERAL ON THE DAY HE WAS BORN WHERE HE SPENT HIS FIRST MONTH IN THE NICU. IN THE FIRST SEVERAL YEARS HE WAS IN AND OUT FOR SURGERIES & SICKNESSES AND SPENT TIME IN EACH OF THESE UNITS OF THE CHILDRENS HOSPITAL….PICU, PIMC , AND THE FLOOR. KYLE ALSO DID HIS DENTAL WORK AT HERHSEY AND SEVERAL EAR SURGERIES WHICH WERE ALWAYS OUTPATIENT. IN 2018 KYLE SPENT 3 WEEKS ON THE 5’TH FLOOR OF THE ADULT HOSPITAL AND 1 WEEK IN ADULT PICU UNIT. LATER IN 2020 HE WAS IN THE ADULT HEART DIVISION.

BECAUSE OF THE LENGTH OF HIS STAY FOR THE NICU AT BIRTH & THE 2018 STAY ON 5’TH FLOOR /PICU WE GOT TO KNOW THEY NURSES, DOCTORS & STAFF QUITE WELL & THOSE STAYS HAVE A MORE PERMANENT PLACE IN OUR MEMORY.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET THE GREAT CARE AT HERSHEY BOTH IN THE CHILDRENS & ADULT HOSPITAL. WE ARE FOREVER GRATEFUL TO ALL WHO CARED FOR KYLE IN ANY WAY. MANY TIMES THEY WERE CARING FOR NOT ONLY KYLE BUT OUT ENTIRE FAMILY. THERE ARE A LOT OF SPECIAL PEOPLE IN THIS HOSPITAL AND BECAUSE OF THEM OUR LIVES WERE FOREVER CHANGED!.

back to the 5'th floor for a few visits

We loved to stop back and visit our hospital family when we were back for doctor visits. I had really hoped to visit the 5’th floor with Kyle again & take some treats but when 2020 came & you needed masks we knew that wasnt happening. Sadly when they finally lifted that we didnt have much time.

Dr John Myers, Heart Surgeon

I don’t even know where to start. I just know that Dr Myers was one of the biggest blessings in our lives. Kyle was born with Tetralogy of Fallot, a heart condition the doctors are familiar with but in Kyles case, with all the other birth defects, it required a lot of care. Dr Myers was there for us from the early days and even though Kyle wasn’t a patient of his after he completed his second heart surgery at age 3 he always stayed in touch, and he pulled more than one favor for us. We are forever grateful to God for Dr Myers for the part he played in Kyles healing journey and also in guiding us through many decisions in the 24 years of Kyles life. As I mentioned, he was only Kyles doctor through those first 3 years of 2 heart surgeries but as you’ll see in the pictures his friendship went well past those years. Dr Myers often stopped by at the Christmas party to say hi and catch up on Kyles life. He also stopped by on several occasions when Kyle was in the hospital for other reasons. To the very end he remembered Kyle by name. There are stories I could tell & hopefully I’ll be able to someday. Thank you, Dr. Myers, for always seeing Kyle as any other patient, for talking to him, seeing his value here on earth, never putting limitations on him and always supporting his momma as well! I am forever grateful!!!

-Dr Armstrong-

A doctor needs to be knowledgeable in what they do and we all want only the best ones for our children. But when you can find one who is professional, top of the line, friendly, kind & very loving to your special needs child you are very blessed!!! We saw Dr. Armstrong for Kyles curved back. Kyle wore a back brace for many years and when he wasnt growing and changing so much and his arch had actually gotten a little better we didn’t need to see him anymore. I was glad for one less annual trip to Hershey but sad to be leaving such a great, personable doctor. This was our last visit. He got right down to Kyle’s level, talked to him & posed for a few pictures! Thank you, Dr Armstrong, for seeing Kyle as any other patient & caring for us both so well!! You blessed us!!

There is so much I could say about this practice as well!! Sadly, most of my pictures from these days are not in my iCloud or on my comp because it goes back a long way! Check back for more….

I will say they have been amazing to us, a blessing from God for sure and they were with us 18 years so they knew it all about Kyle.

Alos when the doctor gives you her cell phone number you know they are something special and when the nurse comes to the car for a quick check you realize they really know & love your kid well!!
