Moving on up
Most of you will have been going to the children’s hospital since you were a baby. You probably know everyone quite well. It is a really scary thought that from around the age of 16-18yrs that your doctor is going to start to say those dreaded words “It's about time we moved you to adult care!”
This shouldn’t be a sudden jolt out of the blue but should be part of a long journey that starts in your early teens. Hopefully by the time those dreaded words are uttered they won’t seem so bad because you will have been planning for such a time as this!
