Quote:?? MOM!?? Ty just bit the elbow on my leg!

Uh…would that be what most folks call a knee perhaps??? Apparently I need to sing Head and Shoulders Knees and Toes to Tanner more often.?? Let’s chalk this up to a an “oops – momentarily lost all the ‘finks in my mind’ “.?? It sure ain’t my homescullin.?? 😉

No picture today.?? I took December off and have hardly picked up my camera.?? I miss her.?? Just been too busy to do any shooting though.?? Maybe next week.

Wanted to write out my notes on today’s Ped visit though.?? Dr. N agreed with me.?? He thinks the “rare abnormal reaction to a virus” is a poor explanation for last weeks symptoms.?? He believes that she may have an obstruction that hasn’t been isolated yet.?? He also thinks that the blood wonkiness was due to the fact that her bladder was so hyper extended it was pushing way up into the abdominal cavity and putting pressure on her spleen which regulates the body.?? As a result, things wigged out temporarily until she was cathed.?? That made more sense to me than any other hypothesis.?? He thinks we might should look into failure to thrive issues because of her weight but is more inclined to think it’s a genetic issue.???? Her biological mother was 5’3″ and biological father was 5’4″ so they didn’t contribute any tall genes to her.?? 🙂

When he walked into the exam room and saw me he said “I know I know!?? It’s been all over the news around here.?? I know what happened and I have read the reports from St. Joe’s.”?? I (of course) follow up with “Ya but did you know they were suspecting LEUKEMIA last week??????????? He knew that too.???? Word got around.

Anyhow, he is convinced that the problem has not been solved yet and that her fatigue, poor appetite, eye swelling, and change in urinary habits is still an unsolved mystery not rooted in the after math of a virus.?? However, her blood test today did show that at this moment, she does in fact have a virus.?? Platelet count was in the 300,000s though.

So tomorrow it is off to PCH to see the urologist.?? Hoping he has a stroke of genius.

And thank you to sweet Amanda who gave me a WONDERFUL massage today and to Kristi who allowed her home to be used as an arcade to entertain two youngsters while we were at the Doctors.?? I love my girlfriends.?? So blessed.
