Doctor Visit at the U of M

Yesterday Megan took pictures of Ashlyn and Lynnea again -- some of them were very cute and I will post more after she edits more of them.

Today Lynnea had a very busy day at the U of M. At 9am she had an echocardiogram, 10:15 she had an appointment with Dr. Gruenstein, 1:00 she had physical therapy, 2:00 she had occupational therapy, and after occupational therapy she had her G-tube button changed because the one she had was leaky. Lynnea hated the echo (as usual), was terrified of Dr. Gruenstein (according to her today he is the scariest man alive), did not enjoy physical therapy, refused to leave Mom's arms for occupational therapy, and found that having her button changed was pretty unpleasant even though it only took a minute to do. That's her version of the day. I personally thought it was a pretty good day -- after all, we are at home again, the doctors did not find any reasons to hospitalize her, which is always good news. Dr. Gruenstein said that her echo showed that things still look pretty good as far as her heart function goes, and he feels that she shouldn't need to be seen at the U of M again for an entire month. At that time we'll talk more about when she will need her next surgery, but ideally she will be fine over the next month and will continue to grow and heal from everything she has had done so far before they need to move ahead and do anything else to her. The possibility of staying home for another whole month is pretty exciting. I just hope that Lynnea decides to cooperate with this plan.
