TGIF - ?

So - Stefan had his MRI yesterday - no update for you though since we haven't talked to a doctor.  I imagine there will be a doctor's appointment next week - I'll start calling Monday for that.

Charlotte's pediatrician appointment went well.  Hip x-ray was good - no problems there.  All the things she was looking for with the blood work were good.  There are a couple genetic tests still pending.

So - that was all good news.  She's going to put a referral in for neurology - but that will probably take a couple months.  If Charlotte is walking by then (which we are hopeful she will be) - then that appointment would just get cancelled.  We'll have a follow up with the pediatrician in a couple months.

The infant development consultant came this afternoon too.  I know I hadn't written about her before.  Our public health nurse had put the referral for the infant development center ages ago (when she had put the referral in for physio).  We are now working with someone from the aboriginal infant development center.  So far - I haven't seen any difference between the infant development consultant and the public health nurse - but oh well - the more the merrier on our team.  They do these ages and stages questionnaire which sees where Charlotte is with communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving and social skills.  We had been doing these questionnaires every 3 months since Charlotte was born.  I thought this was the norm, but many other parents I talk with don't do this kind of thing.  This was what got the push for physio.  I find them a good resource - not only for these questionnaires - but they provide other info too!
So - no updates there - she said we are doing everything right (good to hear)!

To end this exciting day off - Charlotte seems to have a tummy bug - and started vomiting an hour ago - fun!  Oh - my poor little girl.  Good thing we had planned a low key weekend at home!
