We began the month of June with an MRI, which showed good results! Josiah continued with his OT/PT schedule, but was able to take a week off in order to spend time with his grandparents in Branson, followed by a short weekend family camping trip with some friends of ours. He loved both! He has […]
June 2015 MRI
MRI results were good! It did show a possible sinus infection, but we were prepared for that, considering all the coughing and snot running out of his nose! 🙂 We started out the morning by sleeping in! Because the MRI was in the afternoon and he could eat/drink until 9:00am, we had no reason to […]
May 2015 Update
The last few weeks have been a blur! All good, but jam-packed! Josiah saw his rehab doctor, who was pleased with Josiah’s progress. We will see her again in January, unless Josiah’s therapists and I decide he would benefit from more botox injections. The botox lasts 3-4 months; it’ll be 3 months June 13th. We’ve […]
May 13, 2015
It is finally summer break! I’m not sure who is more excited – me or the kids. I can’t say that our summer is going to be any less busy than our school year, but it does mean no lesson plans or assignments to complete! Grace and Samuel have been in Branson with my parents […]
MRI-March 2015
Late night and early morning! I woke up with Josiah at 3:30 this morning to give Josiah his medicine and give him one last chance to eat and drink. He did eat, and thankfully was okay with going back to bed around 4. We were up again at 5:30 to get ready and be at […]
February 2015 Post #2
February 2015 end of month update I was hoping not to have to post anything for the last few weeks of February. The hope was that it would be an uneventful time. While there was nothing major, it was an interesting few weeks. I took Ruth Ann and Samuel to their follow up ENT visits. […]
February 2015 Medical Update
We’ve had quite a bit happen already this month, so I’m updating a bit early! February 4th Josiah had a series of appointments. The nice thing was that we went into one exam room and stayed there and all the specialists came to us. He saw his rehabilitation doctor, an occupational therapist, physical therapist, speech […]
January 2015 Medical Update
I realized about half way through January that I never did write a December update. So backtracking a bit… December started with an MRI and surgery to place a tube in Josiah’s right ear. The MRI showed “No evidence of disease”. The following week we were back at the hospital, but this time instead of […]
November 2014 Medical Update
November was a month full of doctor appointments for Josiah. In October, Josiah started complaining of pain in his neck area. It wasn’t consistent and he simply grabbed the side of his neck, said “owie” and then went right back to playing. The weekend before we planned to take him to get checked out, we […]
October 2014 Medical Update
I didn’t really have a reason to post a September medical update, since the only thing that happened was the MRI, which I had already written about. Time has also been an issue with getting some writing done. I was surprised at how challenging the months of September and beginning of October were for me. […]
