This is the latest post in the series of William, grace and Juliet's journey with hypophosphatasia.
We were finally able to pick up William, Grace and Juliet's new glasses! Grace thought it would be awesome to mess with everyone, and picked glasses that are super similar to Juliet's old pair. Poor Juliet even tried to grab that pair one morning! = )
So, people who knew them by their glasses have been calling Grace "Juliet" more than usual. = )
***********
We also had their first appointment with the dental clinic down in ann arbor. The drive is about the same as that of Grand Rapids, but the parking situation is not as accommodating (though there was no issue this first visit.)
My mom came since the big girls were out of school, and it was just too cold of a day for them to do any sort of exploration. I was glad to have her there, since it took them almost 30 minutes just to get us registered. They promised that next time would be shorter. Time will tell.
This was in the lobby, I wasn't allowed to take pictures in the back. All three got very good reports. I feel so comfortable taking them to this clinic. They have so much experience with hypophosphatasia, collectively, that they have actually diagnosed their patients with HPP before!
William's report was the best. He has no outstanding cavities, and the plan is still to cap his adult teeth as they come in.
Grace and Juliet are also cavity free, but will nee to have some caps put on their back top molars to prevent further loss. Their teeth are in very good condition considering their lack of enamel.
They did not take x-rays (since it has not yet been a year,) but they think that their adult teeth may have been spared thanks to their medication!!!!!!!!
Once we get the twins teeth capped, two visits in as many weeks in June, they will only have to come in every 6 months for regular visits. = )
All in all, a heartening trip.
later days
