Good evening everyone!! Thank the Lord that tomorrow is Friday...this has been a busy week.
Tuesday Ayla saw a "bone doctor" in London. Ryan was able to meet us there. They said that they are sure that it's the steroid that caused her bones to become so weak and brittle. They also have basically stopped any kind of growth in the last 9 months. She will be off the steroid tuesday and things should pick back up. We go back in 6 months for a bone mineral density test and follow up, to make sure things are going back to normal. They cleared her to do anything she wants to at Physiotherapy.
Wednesday Ayla had a pre op for her dental surgery which was rescheduled to the 8th. We were there a long time, the one day i do'nt get a sitter for Ezra...the doctor goes out on a call for while. Anyways, he was very kind when he got back and had a nice long chat with Ezra about whales. So it ended up to not be so bad.
Today Ayla had an allergist appointment reguarding her corn allergy. She isn't anaphalactic, which we knew. She has a delayed response. We go back the end of November for a patch test to see how delayed and how severe. Until then, we continue to avoid corn.
Ayla's leg is doing well. It's very tight and she's still walking like she has the cast on. The PT said the doc didn't cast her properly even though i specified her instructions, he did the "i know what i'm doing." Not understanding that there is a reason... She's walking with her leg turned out, so somehow we have to get her to turn it in.
She's as happy as all get out though. We went swimming this week and she loved it. I was thinking today...how much she's changed or hasn't changed. A lot of people told us when she was sick, "she'll never be the same again. She'll always be quiet and never the same happy girl." I was always confident no matter if that happened or not, she would be who God made her to be. Today, i took a moment and thought while playing with her, "this is who you are. You are a smart, funny, silly, playful, talkative, crazy little girl...with a little bit of shy stuck in there. This is just it...you never changed.
She is perfect...
Thank the Lord for that.

You made me cry. *sniff sniff*
ReplyDeleteShe was shy and reserved before she got sick. She probably has changed, but we all change when we go through hard things and it is up to us to let that mold us in a positive way.
Have no fear, when the confidence takes over in the shyness department, she'll be unstoppable and hard to resist.
ReplyDeleteShe's doing wonderful because she has the best parents and brother a wee gal could ask for. xo
