Well this was a long week filled with appointments! Here’s a quick rundown from our week: Monday – 2 hour interview with neuropsychologist. (Mostly Nathan and I visiting with the Dr.) Tuesday – 2 hour testing with neuropsychologist (Josiah was tested while Nathan and I waited in the waiting room.) We will discuss the results July […]
April/May 2016 Update
It’s been way too long since sitting down and writing! I realized over the weekend I hadn’t even updated about Josiah’s growth hormone testing. Although, some of that is because I don’t have much information to pass along! Josiah did have growth hormone testing in April, and he showed up at the hospital dressed as […]
March 2016 Medical Update (Botox)
Josiah had Botox last week and it went really well. We started the morning with going to the orthotic clinic to make a small fix on his brace. There is a house being built across the street from us, so when we got home, we stayed outside to watch the construction workers and machinery. Josiah […]
Haircuts, Shoes, Drums and Therapy
It’s been a great week, and we’ve all enjoyed being outside with the nicer weather! Haircuts. On Monday the kids all got haircuts. The girls just had their hair trimmed and the boys had quite a bit cut – especially Josiah! Here’s their before and after pics! Shoes. It took about a week, but we […]
Appointment Update
Josiah had his visit with the endocrinologist yesterday morning and it went really well. Here’s a quick re-cap of the appointment: We are able to do the lab work for his thyroid when we go in for the Botox appointment on March 22nd. One of his medications needed to be increased because he’s grown a little […]
New Shoes and Upcoming Appointments
Josiah has a new brace for his right let/foot, a new insert for his left foot, new shoes, and a new arm splint and hand splint. The arm and hand splints are very similar to what he’s had in the past, just bigger because he’s grown! Our appointment with the orthotist yesterday went really well. […]
January and February 2016 Medical Update
It’s been awhile since writing, and it’s been a good break for me. January was a nice break in our schedule, and we were home for most of the month. Due to health insurance changes, Josiah had to go through the pre-approval, evaluation and testing process again. Although I tried my best to stay on […]
July 2015 Medical Update
Tonight as we sat in the living room before bed, Nathan started giving us some riddles to solve. The kids absolutely loved it! I was impressed with how many they figured out on their own. Ruth Ann had a grand old time shouting out random answers and Josiah enjoyed building with his magnet blocks and […]
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 […]
