MIBG Construction Update #5, Levine Children’s Hospital

25,000 lbs of lead bricks… that’s a whole lot of lead. But that is the necessary requirements to protect and manage MIBG Therapy safely for patients, family and staff.  Construction of the ISF MIBG Treatment Suite at Levine Children’s Hospital is progressing on schedule.  We got another peak at the room and how far it has come since we were there in early July and got to talk with MIBG Therapy Program Lead, Dawn, about her MIBG training and mock trial plans once construction wraps up. We are getting close!

10,000 pounds of lead brick has been installed in the adjoining wall between the patient and parent room.  Back in March when we announced the Therapy Suite, many of our 3 Wish Circle Members and sponsors signed a lead brick to commemorate the significance of their part in bringing this type of therapy to our region.  What was also special, doctors and nurses who treated Isabella during her time at Levine Children’s Hospital were in attendance and signed the brick.  We were excited to see where the ISF signed lead brick will be placed in the patient/parent room dividing wall (white brick in photo)… drywall goes up next week and it will become a lasting print in Levine History!

UPDATE:

  • Patient & parent bathroom framing
  • Plumbing install
  • ISF signed lead brick placement
  • Drywall starts next week
