I'm Back! & Addy Updates!

I am back from my awesome getaway with my mom. We had a really good time. LOVED lounging on the beach, definitely the best part. We did go on a historical tour and toured an old plantation called Magnolia. Interesting but would have preferred to stay on the beach! The little house was a house for the slaves, up to 50 people would stay in them at a time!

This is an albino peacock!

I had a doc appointment this morning to prepare for an upcoming surgery (more on that later!) It was supposed to be a 4 hour appointment but since I'm not crazy (I have proof too!) I was only there an hour! So I headed back home and decided to call my doc since Addy's nurse was scheduled till 1 and it was only 9! I have been coughing like crazy since Wednesday. I just finished an antibiotic on Saturday for a sinus and ear infection but this cough was making me nuts! Fortunately I got into my doc at 10 and low and behold I have acute bronchitis. Shocking. So I'm now on three new meds and hope to be much better off by tomorrow night!

I headed back into Springfield this afternoon with Addy. She had a follow-up cardiology appointment. We had to see a new cardio doc. Her doctor unexpectedly retired last month. I asked why today and he found out on a Monday that he was completely deaf in one ear and he retired on that Wednesday! This is a man that would call me from his office on a Sunday night because he was reviewing files! Major workaholic! Anyway, he felt it was a disservice to his patients because he can no longer hear heart murmurs so he retired! Well new cardio doc did an Echo, and an EKG and Addy's heart is PERFECTLY HEALTHY!! The hole that was still in her heart last November has completely closed up and her lung pressures are better than normal! Isn't that amazing!?!? This is a girl that was oxygen dependent, has severe pulmonary hypertension and was on several meds and breathing treatments a day! So one less doctor for Addy now! Yeah!! As we were leaving I thought I would drop by her eye doctor's office to see if her glasses were in. We picked out the frames forever ago but hadn't heard anything. They arrived this morning! So check her out!! She is doing fabulous with them! She has only tried to remove them a couple of times, I just put her hand down and say "no touch" and she is fine! It's obvious that she realizes she can see! These pix of her looking at Jarika, she can actually see her now!
