This is the latest post in the series of William, Grace and Juliet's journey with hypophosphatasia.
Billy took Friday off, so that he could pick up the big girls from school, should we be in Grand Rapids longer than expected.
After taking the big girls to school, I came home and finished getting the little ones ready, we loaded up and headed out. We hadn't been on the interstate more than 30 seconds when my check engine light came back on, but that's another tale.
We arrived and unloaded about 10 minutes before the appointment time.
I really like the endocrinologist. She reviewed the past 6 months, and then we discussed my list. I wanted to get William's genetic testing done, had questions about limiting vitamin D, and other such things.
She did raise William's dose just a bit, and ordered same day wrist x-rays, and blood work when we come back next month. = (
Also, she got to meet the endocrinologist that the kids had in Houston! I'm sure that she will never forget William... Apparently our Houston doctor is one of the most knowledgeable about hypophosphatasia now (which comes as no surprise, she was amazing) and travels a bit to teach other doctors.
Endocrinology was the only appointment we had for the day, so afterwards we went to eat lunch in the cafeteria, then headed down to x-ray.
Radiology has my favorite waiting area in the hospital. The children's area is completely separated and has books, riding toys, and lost of farm/house/castle playthings.
When we walked back, they took William and Grace first, while Juliet and I waited in the hall. It took no time at all before she was called back and we were on our way home.
We were happy to have a 'light' day at the hospital, and even made it back in time to pick up the big girls!
later days
