We had a very busy 6 1/2 hours of doctor visits. Her first appointment was a teeth cleaning with her dentist. She's doing great and has no cavities. We still have to be watchful of the spots on her front 2 teeth and make sure they don't get worse. He gave us some flouride to put on every other month. Starting the day off good!
not liking her eyes dilating. |
Her third appointment was with her orthodontist. Nothing has really changed here and he still wants to move forward with doing the Sarpe surgery. We just have to talk with her plastic surgeon about when. It's a 6-8 month recovery process so it's timing is something we want to put some good thought into. I don't want to be driving the 240 miles(one way) on bad winter roads for all of the check ups that this procedure will require. We went over her CT scan that we did back in March. It was pretty cool to see all of her uniqueness in 3D. Things are really narrow in there (which we knew) but it's always crazy to see just how narrow. So another good appointment with no bad news, just stuff we already knew.
talking with the Dr.is boring and exhausting! |
Her last appointment was with her plastic surgeon. He measured her head and it hasn't really grown in 6 months. He isn't very worried about that at this point. Since she isn't showing any signs of problems then that still means she still has room in there. We are to keep an eye on her and let him know if we notice any changes. We then talked about the Sarpe. He is willing to do it whenever we think will be best, so as of right now it will be sometime in March. Pending everything lines up with our schedule and the schedule of 3 other doctor's.
All in all it was a great day with good news. It just seems a bit surreal to have a surgery in our sights. She will be 3 years surgery free this November!! She continues to amaze us with how strong and amazing she is. She rocked all of those appointments today with only 1 small melt down.
