So today we went in for Mary's 10 year exam and to have the doctor fill out her physical for camp. Clara has been complaining about her shoulder blades hurting and now her knee is as well, so she went in with us. They have both been having trouble sleeping at night because of hurting, so they were both pretty sleepy and delirious.
(Mary fell asleep on me, Clara got sleepy waiting too).
They took us back and got their height and weight, took their temps and did their blood pressure. Then for Mary, they did a hearing test and eye exam. Her left ear failed the test 6x. She's losing the hearing in her left ear.
The doctor came in and looked at her wrists, knees, ankle, hip, foot and shoulders. She is the FIRST doctor in all of this time to even acknowledge that her wrist is malformed!!! The first one in almost 3 years! Incredible. I felt such a relief, because it's so noticeable but no one in the medical community has ever even said they notice it. She had a word for what's happened to Mary's wrist, but I can't remember what she said. I just asked in the support group on Facebook, and someone said it happened to them too, when they were a child, they are 32 years old now and it's still that way. That crushed my heart. For him and for my baby. I can't believe this is happening to her.
They also noticed that Mary's right side is not growing with her left side. She is a little lopsided. So she has to get x-rays.
Clara has to have bloodwork done to find out why she's hurting and if the sleepiness, fever and facial rash has anything to do with it.
Clara's Journey
We are home now and dinner is cooking, so I'm going to cut this one short. I am exhausted. So ready for a night of Fuller House with the family! :) <3
