Numb. Just Numb. It was a Tuesday like any other, except Amy was hurting. Again. We had an appointment to see Dr. Lerman this afternoon, but I gave her the opportunity to play hooky while I went to MOPS. That way I would be close if she needed me, and Read more…
Here we are. Not nervous AT ALL. (Lies) I swore I’d never come back, but here I am, my back against the wall and a ready-to-eat crow in my pocket. We have 3 moms in our Facebook group who are patients of, and are very pleased with, Dr. Lerman. Will Read more…
I don’t know what to do… Background: After Amy’s fall last month, she was unable to walk. ER doc said it was fractured. Her doc says it’s not. 4 days later, she still wasn’t weight baring. To give her support, she was casted for 4 weeks. Amy’s cast is supposed Read more…
On Saturday we went to the pumpkin patch with the littles. Amy had so much climbing all over the place. Then she went up these stairs to play on the raised platform. But on the way back down, she fell a single step, and cried of pain. We were trying Read more…
Take Teddy’s picture! Back at Shriners again, but if you look close, you’ll see she’s wearing cast #5. The dog peed on the linoleum, and she walked in it. Unbelievable… Anyways, Cast #5 comes off today, and we get Brace #1! It was no one’s surprise that Read more…
Cast #4, complete with “magic sparkles” (glitter). I was politely reminded (with a laugh) that they didn’t want to see us before the 26th. I’m all for that! She has already taken a few steps. Much relieved to see her walking again. Update: Look at her go during lunch! That’s Read more…
Last night was spaghetti night, so afterwards Amy had her bath as usual. Except I must not have checked to make sue that the seal was completely airtight. Because when she came out of the bath, her foot was wet. Great. I looked it up online, and the consensus is, Read more…
So after dealing with tripping and falling, stubbed toes, her shoe flying off and making her fall, and general off-balancedness… Shriners told us to come back. The funny part was that when she called, I had already made the long drive to Sac, and was in the parking garage of Read more…
So here we are, day after her appointment, and here I sit, a little grumpy. First, my child is in pain, because her cast hurts. I think the angle her knee is bent at is too extreme. It’s forcing her to walk on her toes, and it hurts her. Just Read more…
We arrived about 30min early, and stood in a short line (there were 2 families in front of us). We never received our new patient packet, so we had papers to fill out. Plus we needed to turn over her x-rays, shot records, insurance card, social security card, and birth Read more…
