Another successful trip to Primary Children's
Well its that time of year again for us, today was our long day up at PCMC. And just as I was hoping and praying for, it went really well. Today was a clinic day for us, which means we see a series of Doctor's and if there need to be test done, we can do those then as well. Today we saw his Neuro Surgeon, Orthopedics, Neurology, Urology, Genetics, Nutritionist and Physical and Occupational Therapist. Yes it was a busy day for us, but very successful too. What I love so much about these clinics, is we get it all done in one day, we just get put in an exam room and the Doctors come to us, one after another, who ever thought of this is a genius! But as each Doctor or Specialist came in to see Daniel they all had good news, The Neuro Surgeron was very pleased with how his scar is healing from is surgery back in March of 06, and they gave us pointers and things to look for in case of retethering, they think its unlikely to happen but its always good to know what to look for in case that was to happen again. Orthopedics were pleased with Daniel as well, we did have some x-rays done today, he may or may not need surgery for his feet, but we have know about this for some time now, so no surprises there. We are just waiting to hear back from the Doctors about his x-rays. Then Urology came in, they went over his results from his CMG(bladder study) he had done about two weeks ago. Nothing unusual there, he does have a small bladder but they don't think that will be a problem for him, but its just something they have to watch and we really won't know much until we get ready to potty train him. Then we talked with Genetics, The Nutritionist, the PT and OT. They just helped give us ideas and suggestions on ways to further help Daniel. I was very happy with the way things turned out today and as always its a very stressful day but when its all over its a such relief and feel like a weight has been lifted off me. We feel so blessed to have such amazing doctors and to be able to have access to such a wonderful Hospital. Primary Childrens has taken such good care of Daniel and has helped us in so many ways. We will be forever grateful to them!
