And the appointment went….
So today we waited and waited for Addysons gi to show up for our appointment. He’s great and really good but that often means we sit and wait hrs later than our appointment time for him to show up.

Loving the new dr on our team
I cannot express how grateful we are for the new dr on Addysons team. He is amazing. He checks in on her all the time. He shuts down his clinic so he has time to see her without being rushed. He has the best bedside manner and truly cares about his patients and their families.Continue reading “Loving the new dr on our team”
Improvement
The dr was happy to see some improvement in Addysons bp this morning however he wants it to be better. He gave us his personal cell number and said to keep in touch with her bps and hr info. He expects to continue to see improvement over the next few weeks.
Hope
Addyson has a new doctor on her team. She saw him today and will see him again tomorrow. So far it’s been a positive appointment so we are hoping we will continue to see improvement. While it’s another med it has already shown some positive results so fingers crossed that we continue to see improvementContinue reading “Hope”

If her electrolytes don’t improve with the next blood drawl we will have toContinue reading “Update”
