Surgery....again

A trooper is probably the best way to describe Julianne these days since she has been through more medical procedures in the past two months than most people in a lifetime. At least we can say that we have really only received good news from the barrage of tests that she has undergone. Yesterday she had a test to rule out bladder reflux and thank goodness, it is just fine. Quite a stressful test for her since she was placed under a machine where she could not see me. It was fairly quick though. On Tuesday, we had an orthopedic appt. to be sure that her pin had not shifted and it thankfully is still in place. Also her cast is coming off on June 22, so we'll take all this good news anyday. However, just as soon as one cast comes off, another one is on the way since surgery is right around the corner again. On July 7 (yes, that soon), she is having a 4.5 hour surgery on her fingers. Her thumb will be replaced by her pointer finger. The younger she is then the easier it will be for her to learn how to use it.

Yah! Glad all is going well. I know you feel doctored out right now, because so do we! We have 5 appointments in the next month followed by cleft surgery in July. Not to mention all the regular appointments for an ear infection that won't clear. Jack's awesome though, so whatever. This to shall pass.

It is good to hear that everything is still going well. I can not imagine the stress you are going through as her mom though. Know that we are still thinking of her and hope only for the best in the next surgery.
