Why Superchuck you ask? We could have had a nickname of Lotty, Charlie, Char - anything really. Well - our girl likes to chuck things - so chuck stuck!
We had a pediatrician appointment for Charlotte today. She has had some developmental delays - in particular with her walking - she's not doing any - and she is just about 20 months. She has been seeing a physiotherapist though - and progressing really well - so even though the doctor made the referral to the pediatrician - we didn't really make much of it. Well - the Dr. said that our family doctor did the right thing making the referral - and we were off to Children's Hospital for an x-ray of her hips and a 'bone-aging' x-ray (that's where they make sure the bones are developing as fast or slow as she is - they are! whew). We are back to Children's tomorrow for a run of blood tests (you know - squeeze that in before the Cancer Clinic appointment - but dependent on weather). The Dr. didn't want to give us any possibilities of what it may be - as she doesn't want to worry us - what - me worry?! Of course at this appointment - I'm thinking "you've got to be frickin sh#*ing me!'. Like we don't have enough to stress about right now.
Anyway - I'm hoping the result of all this is just "she's a late bloomer". Keep fingers crossed and I'll keep you updated.
We also had Superchucks physio today - and she was very reassuring to talk too. Our physio has had a number of appointments with Charlotte and also has a little one of her own. We are hoping the Dr. is just being overly cautious - and that's a good thing - as we have recently discovered!
Brain tumour man and Superchuck better not think they are getting out of any chores!

So glad that you updated tonight! Didn't want to call and bug you, but was wondering what was up. She's totally just a late bloomer. Big hugs and we'll be thinking of all of you tomorrow.
Superchuck is the cutest Superhero ever! I have only seen your side of the family Stefan, but I think she looks alot like your mom!
