I think we've been to more doctors appointments in the past few months than we have in the past few years :-). They are mainly all for Gibs' arm--at the arm place and physical therapy. This week he had a check up with the ENT and one of his tubes was in his canal (which does no good) so the doctor took it out We go back in a few months to have his ears checked again and hopefully that ear is still okay and won't require tubes again. Although, with his arm surgery, we met our detectable, so another surgery this year would be better than next :-). All three kids were sick about a month ago and Greta seemed to be the worst. What started as croup symptoms ended in an eye infection and although my kids often get eye infections after being sick and normally just get drops and they're instantly better, the doctor wanted me to take Greta in to have her ears checked too. They were fine of course. She looked pretty rough though :-(.
So much fun waiting in a small doctor's office! Not really :-).
Working on his PT in the car. I'm really hoping he can get his arm back to normal soon. The reason we had the surgery was so that he could reach his shoulder with his hand and now that is what he still can't do. Slowly though, he is making progress.
Anything we can do to get him to work his muscles around his elbow is supposed to help. I normally like play-doh as an outdoor summer activity, but for the sake of his arm, they can now play it in the house :-).
Layla was excited that during her spring break she was able to go to Gibs' PT appointment. She loved when she could go to his arm appointents too. She finds medical stuff interesting and loves to take what she saw at an appointment and play a similar situation at home. She thought it was really nice that the PT even let her play with the dough with Gibs.
