6 Month Neurology Checkup

Hard to believe it has been six months since C first saw the neurologist, but it has!  

Since then she has had a CT scan that revealed a possible stroke either in utero or shortly after birth.

Since being presented with that information I have fought for PT and OT services for my sweet girl... Despite the neurologist saying that she was doing fine where she was and not to pursue it further.

But that neurologist just doesn't know me or my quietly determined girl very well.  : )

We have been in both PT and OT (eventhough we were told that she didn't need PT at first.  Mama kept asking/praying).

With all of the appointments we have, I am thankful C is so patient.  But after waiting an hour...

Or over an hour for the doctor...

The same old book gets a little boring...

And I was not going to let her look at Ripley's Believe it or Not...

So you get creative with your reading

And re reading

Of the one book that you do have!

You gotta think outside the box sometimes!

And jump in with both feet!

But before a somersault was attempted, the doctor finally came!

She was very impressed with C's progress, but told me not to expect her left hand to gain much more if any function.  I was disappointed to hear that (but my OT completely disagreed!; )) but I am not going to stop doing what we are doing.  We all see progress and my Lottie Pie is determined to keep on trying!

We are scheduling an EEG for Charlotte later this month to check on her after a possible seizure.   We are not too worried, but C has had a hard couple of months and we want to be sure we are doing all we can for her.  We would really appreciate your prayers.

If everything is normal, we will have one more six month check up then yearly after that if everything goes well.

Thanks for praying for our sweet girl - she's definitely worth all that and more, including super long wait times and numerous doctor appointments!
