Doctors, Doctors
AND
more Doctors :)
That is the way this week went.
FUN!!!
Tuesday ....
This one was for me :)
I have lots of issues with my back and neck.
BUT
in the end I got an AWESOME massage!!!
Good appointment!
Wednesday ......
I left work ASAP so I could pick-up My Darling as soon as her school released.
She had an eye appointment.
We are blessed to take her every 3-4 months.
The easiest way to explain:
Her bottom eyelashes grow into her eyes.
This is NOT good. It can/will scratch her cornea (it already has a bit.)
So -- since a few were doing exactly that she had to have some removed.
She is great when they do this ---
No numbing even!!!
Thursday .......
This is the BIG day.
LOTS of doctors!!!
Today starts off at clinic for BaJabs and Elizabeth.
This is actually the appointment we love.
We sit in one room and everyone rotates to us!!!
We see nurses, a social worker, physical therapist, occupational therapist, orthopedic doctor and the prosthetic office.
WOW -- yes, x2.
Elizabeth need x-rays -- they went perfect -- didn't look perfect but she did well!
Nurses -- both are great! Both girls weigh the same -- amazing. Of course, Elizabeth is much older and taller but VERY thin.
Social worker -- great!
Physical therapist -- great -- for now. We will need some support in the near future.
Occupational therapist -- loves how well Elizabeth is doing BUT we need some support -- NOT because she can't do things but we are trying to find ways to make it easier for her. So, evaluations and therapy coming up in the new year.
Mr. F, the orthopedic doctor --- We LOVE this doctor.
BaJabs is having some issues with her prosthesis.
When all the explaining and evaluating is done --
the conclusion .....
SURGERY!!
Not overly excited BUT there is no other choice.
She has some VERY unique bones and they are not cooperating.
So, sometime this winter -- early we think, she will have MAJOR surgery to fix part of her stub.
Unfortunately, she will have to stay in the hospital a bit, be casted for 6 weeks and then a new leg.
BUT
the outcome ...
NO MORE PAIN!!!
Elizabeth is having some issues walking!
When all of the explaining, x-ray reading and evaluating is done ---
the conclusion ....
SURGERY!!
NOT overly excited about this one BUT again, NO CHOICE!!!
She has some VERY unique bones as well! Her femurs are different lengths, issues with her pelvic and hip.
Surgery will be for her hip -- which means --
FULL BODY CAST -- for 6 WEEKS!!!
OH MY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been trying to think of any other way to fix this -- there is not!
So, thankfully, we wait until next year at this time for the surgery.
Lots of time to plan and be ready.
Now for Mr. Mark the prosthetic designer. Both girls need help. So, once we are done with everyone, we head to his office. He wanted to make sure he could do all of the fixes OR if he had to make new legs. THANKFULLY, all changes can be made. BUT we have to go back next week for that.
ALL of this took 3 HOURS!
We are tired, hungry and mommy is a tad overwhelmed!
I totally did not expect all of what happened to happen.
We hit Panera's for lunch -- yes, this is the pick. We hit the gluten free bakery for mommy and the boys. We run into the mall to check on a Christmas gift.
AND
Finally, make the hour ride home.
BECAUSE
We now have to go to our family doctor for all of the kids.
All the kids need their flu shots.
AND
MD has to see the doctor. Unfortunately, he has been sick for a few months and we are trying to get to the bottom of the problem.
We think it is food allergies.
The results will be back soon --
We are really hoping for some answers.
NOW
it is 7 pm.
Again, we are starving and tired.
We get home --
finish making the tacos
QUICKLY!!
QUICKLY!!
EAT!
Relax for a bit--
AND all little ones in bed by 9.
AMAZING for one day/one week!
FRIDAY .....
mommy wakes up SICK!! Yes, I've had a cold on and off for 2 months now. BUT it is now moving into bronchitis and a nice ear ache.
YES -- I stayed home from work!
Hopefully, a slow weekend ahead.
