Our motility gi Dr who we have had for years retired in December, so today we met our new one. I liked her… She listened to our questions and answered in normal everyday language. She also agreed that if meds / protocols aren’t working, then let’s stop them, so today we removed two meds fromContinue reading “Our new motility gi & surgical update”

Cardiology follow up and qsart testing
Long day. Let me start by saying we didn’t get the news we had hoped for, however we still are hopeful that we can stop this aortic root dialation. Her echo showed. 3 growth in her aortic root dialation which is not what we wanted. We wanted it to stay steady (with no growth) CardiologyContinue reading “Cardiology follow up and qsart testing”
Infusion # who knows 😂
Yesterday ethen had his eye appointment. His script has changed (gotten worse) but with new glasses they got him to 20/20. However we are screwed if his glasses ever break because he’s way past the eye sight for driving (when it’s time). We will always make sure he has a spare pair w him. HeContinue reading “Infusion # who knows 😂”
So we have had a few people ask for updates from yesterday. It’s tough. It’s emotionally draining. I needed a day to think through it all, discuss it and then find a way to explain it. We left with another new diagnosis and no new treatment options. For the second time in 8 weeks weContinue reading

Another busy day. Addyson had two Drs appointments today and home hospital teaching. We also decided that today would be the tree drive drop off date and lunch with a friend! First appointment was with one of addysons autonomic dysfunction Drs. She agreed we are on the right path and have already tried all theContinue reading “Tree drive drop off and Drs appointments”
Cardiology, infusion and swim meet
Another busy day. It started with addysons cardiology appointment. We found out her echo was abnormal as her aortic root is enlarged. It cannot shrink back however we need everyone to hope, pray, whatever it is that you believe in. We need addysons aortic root enlightenment to stay under 3.0. Hers is close to theContinue reading “Cardiology, infusion and swim meet”
Surgical follow up
Today we had addysons follow up with her surgeon. I know it’s odd to still have a surgeon one year post her most recent surgery, however he will follow her for years because he’s also the one who will do her next surgery, which will most likely be her pectus excavatum repair. Today we discussedContinue reading “Surgical follow up”
Plan forward
We spoke to addysons motility gi Dr tonight. We have a plan going forward for testing next month when she flares. He also said every xray during a flare has shown a functional ileus. He wants to help us get better control on those. We don’t want to be an ileus mode every month. SoContinue reading “Plan forward”
Last day of wish trip
Today is our last day of addysons wish trip, we head home tomorrow. It has been an amazing trip with lots of memories.. Below are a few highlights. Addyson goes through so much medically so to have a week to make these memories and focus on all the fun things has been amazing.
Pediatrician check up
Why does every one of addysons doctors say “she’s one that sticks with me and makes me think”? They all also say man, she’s still full of spunk even years later. Let her keep that sass it makes her the fighter that she is. Today we saw her pediatrican and we talked through everything. WeContinue reading “Pediatrician check up”
