Thankfully that is all straighten out now and the MRI is rescheduled for February 19th. SP cheered when it was cancelled so no she is still not excited about this.
I won't even begin to tell you about the hours on the phone to get SP's Humira prescription sent out on time- another new insurance issue- but just let me give a big THANK YOU to the ladies at Dupont who listened to my frustrations and tearful worries and got everything fixed for us.
We had another wonderful eye visit in January, her vision and eyes are great!
it has taken a year full of ups and downs, surgeries, oral steroids and countless eye drops but we are in a good place right now and thrilled!
January also brought snow, a good 17 inches- which is a lot for our area! The kids were so excited about snowmen and snowball fights. Unfortunately it was not the right type of snow for that and was very hard and icy packed at the bottom and light on top.
It was good for snow angels though.
Here's SP's complete with the puffball on top of her hat!
SP had a dentist visit, and while she got a good report we got the referral to the orthodontist, something we knew was coming but still wasn't fully ready for. Then again whose wallet is ever ready for that?
A visit to Chick Fil-A cheered her up and burned off some energy for 2 little kids stuck inside for too long.
We ended January on a good note and the same continued into February with one small hitch.
February 10th SP complained of blurriness in her bad eye and when I looked I saw a large jelly-like blob/disk in there. With a few blinks and a tissue we got it out. But when she was moving her eye around I noticed the white of her eye had several grey patches to it. This could be normal and I just never noticed it before but I went to google. Well never go to Google if you want your mind at ease. I thought I was going to have a panic attack reading things on there!
Called up the Ophthalmology office today and the good Dr got back to me very quickly and helped put my mind at ease. It could be nothing but areas where her incisions were (keep in mind SP has had 5 eye surgeries) or it could be something of concern. He was willing to fit her in tomorrow, but SP has her Valentine's party- something she has been looking forward to- and honestly the poor kid has missed so many fun things that I didn't want to take this from her. Since it wasn't deemed urgent we are holding off until next week. Since she already will be up at the hospital for her MRI she will get her eye looked at afterwards. But thank heavens for great doctors who get back to you!
