Where to start??? Hmmmmm...we have our Denver appointment finally. June 16, 17 and 18. Immunology on the 16th where he will do allergy testing, Cardiology on the morning of the 17th and nothing else will be determined until we get there. It will be a very busy 3 days for sure!
Brooke had a CT scan Monday and it went remarkably well. She is such a trooper. I'm not even going to throw out all of the "stuff" we had to contend with; I'll just leave it at "it went remarkably well" and be done with it. YEA GENA!! I picked up the results on my lunch hour Tuesday and spent the next hour having one of the biggest melt-downs I've had in a LONG time. Not sure where all the hysteria came from but it never fails that it always happens at work and in front of my boss. Forget trying to put on the air of being tough...BLEW THAT LONG AGO! Ha. Long story short - it's ok. I'm ok. Everything we knew was wrong is still wrong, so no shockers there and the two new developments aren't anything to worry about according to the OB/GYN. Thank goodness for that! Mike mailed the disc to UNM today so they can look at the images. I sometimes just shake my head in disbelief of everything this little girl endures. And to do so with her happy disposition and a smile on her face. Never any complaints from her. How in the world does she do it? She is my hero!
I took Brooke's echo discs by UNM and Presby. Friday. Brooke's "former" cardiologist (he is a pediatric doctor, about to retire, and is at Presby.) has called me 3 times to discuss these findings. I love DR. BERMAN!!! LOVE-LOVE-LOVE his kind and caring ways. Praying that our new cardiologist at UNM will be the same! If Dr. Berman wasn't going to retire - I would seriously consider staying with him, but since everything we've ever done and all of our other doctors are at UNM --- it just makes sense to be there. You go where they know you. And I don't have enough energy to "start over" with a new hospital and group of doctors. We're currently waiting on an appt. with the new doctor at UNM.
10 days until our vacation...very much looking forward to spending time with Mike in such a beautiful place. We need to decompress. Please pray for Brooke. For her health and well-being while we're gone. Pray for solutions to the problems. For resolution. For strength for all of us.
