Surgery and MRI

Yesterday we had to be to CHOP at 6:30 am.  Liv was getting tubes put in her ears since her old ones became defective.  She was also getting a MRI right after surgery so she goes under anesthesia once.  Every time she has be on anesthesia, she needs a breathing tube because she stops breathing.  This was the first time she was seizure and breathing tube free.  She woke up and we got to come home instead of getting admitted.  I was very proud of her.  She was doing so well that we sent her to daycare today.  She just loves it there.

So Many Things Since Last Post

Liv was seen by Endocrinology and had high blood pressure again.  This can be a problem from her Turner's Syndrome diagnosis, so we were told she needed to see Nephrology to see if her kidneys are functioning.  Of course adding another specialist is just what we wanted.

We went to ENT and we were told that her tubes are no longer functioning and she needs new ones put in.  Great surgery!  At least they were able to schedule it the same time she's under for the brain MRI.

We went to Nephrology and everything checked out.  Whew!  I was really worried something serious was happening.  We don't go back for 6 months.

Liv was sick on Wednesday and was taken to the same person that misdiagnosed her shingles.  She told us that there was nothing wrong with Liv.  I found this odd because we were told by ENT that she had fluid in her ears, which leads to ear infections.  Liv had a temp and was lethargic.  So we waited until Saturday to get an appointment with her real doctor and she was diagnosed with an ear infection.  Big surprise!  Needless to say, we will never allow our child to see that nurse practitioner.  If Liv can't have surgery on Wednesday because she is still sick, we will be talking to administration.

Liv's feeling better today, but still not completely herself.

Liv's handicapped stroller and high chair have finally came in.  We get to pick them up tomorrow.  I'm so excited.

I guess that's everything!
