What a day!
Our first appointment was at 8:30 today but traffic was terrible so we arrived at 9. I really like the Dermatologist. She is very nice and knowledgeable. She does not think the bump on Gracie's head is a hemangioma but a fat deposit. Also, the hemangioma on her tummy will get better as she grows. We hope by the time Gracie is 4 it will be gone or next to nothing. These issues happen to be because she is a girl, triplet, and preemie. We did luck out because usually hemangiomas are on the face.
In between dermatology and orthopedic, we stop to visit Brody. Meme hasn't seen him in a while so it was good she was able to. The blood gas they did this morning didn't look as bad as the one yesterday but it was not the best. They did not make any vent changes and will repeat the blood gas in the morning. He is 9 lbs 15 oz.
The orthopedic appointment was a little odd. The doctor has ZERO bedside manner. Gracie did get her cast. She did very well and did not seem to be in any pain. She kept tooting on him :o) She will need to go back once a week for at least 6 weeks to have the cast changed. We talked briefly about the other issues but at this time, he does not feel we should do anything.
Madi did great. Went along for the ride. So many funny things happen during these ventures. I mean sometimes it is a scary situation but it turns out to be something to laugh about. I guess that is key... keep laughing.
I'm just taking it one day at a time over here and enjoy life's little moments.
Have a great weekend!
