It is said that God will never give you more than you can handle. I must believe that to be true.
Brody failed his hearing screen today.
Brody has only gained less than 3 pounds since he came home in December.
Brody is now considered "Failure to Thrive"
Brody went to the Chiropractor today and he believes something is wrong with his neck/ back but won't touch him until x rays are done.
Brody's amazing Occupational Therapist is moving to Austin.
Yep, all this and today is only Wednesday.
We will have to have Brody sedated so they can retest his hearing another way. We cannot do this until a doctor that has sedation clearance writes the order. We are not sure what doctor that will be.
The Nutritionist and I are both dumbfound as to why he has not gained weight since he is getting more than enough calories every day. He actually is getting 300-500 more than required. Nutritionist thinks it may be malnutrition. We are going to the Gastro on Monday.
We go to the Pedi on Friday so I will ask for them to do an x ray for the Chiropractor.
I've found another company to provide therapy service since TCH won't be able to provide OT services for a while.
I don't get it. I take the kids to every appointment without fail. I make appointments with specialist if something seems off and I would probably come off crazy if the number of times I've taken them to the Pediatrician was ever shared. This breaks you. I don't know what I can do better. I don't know what to do.
All I can do is try my very hardest to stay positive.
The kids have their first appointment with the dentist tomorrow. That should be interesting. After, Gracie has her appointment downtown with the ENT.
One good thing came out of the Chiropractor today. While we were there he adjusted my back and neck. He said my back was pretty messed up. I'm going back on Friday. Lifting the kids, the stroller, and car seats is a lot. The doctor is so nice. He is a Christian man. He told me that I should always trust my intuition and he feels like I am right about Brody. It was so nice for someone to actually listen and see my concerns. He didn't even charge us the copay for the visit and they told me they wouldn't be charging me my copays for my treatment either. Wow, that is such a blessing.
We could use some prayers right now.
