The snow day messed with our flow for the week, since William and the twins had appointments on both Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Tuesday appointment was just the 6 month follow up with the Neurosurgeon, and it was in Lansing, so they only missed a half day.
Don't all children pose for pictures in doctor's offices?
*****************
The next day was a Grand Rapids trip. We didn't have a packed day, so we saw off the big girls before heading up there.
Our first and worst stop was at the Phlebotomist office. They had to have routine bloodwork and William was getting extra drawn for his genetic testing.
After lunch we had a bit of time to play.
Then it was back across the bridge to the ophthalmologist.
Juliet's patch wearing paid off, she improved greatly in her eye. William not wearing his meant that he was prescribed drops. We've only put them in once* and now he is an avid patch wearer.
We had to load up and unload once more at the ENT for William's 9 month check up. It was quick, painless and we were back on the road in no time.
So thankful for these uneventful, stay the course, doctor visits.
later days
*So, the only day we've put them in I forgot to give his teacher a head up. He fell on the playground, and bumped his head, but when he came into the office he had uneven pupils, so the secretary called me telling me that he likely had a concussion. It was a scary drive, but my mom stepped up and took care of my groceries so that I could take care of him. We were almost to the hospital ER before I connected that the drops that I put in his eyes dilate them for a longer time than the normal drops they give in the office. Fun times.
