Busy Day



The boys and I have had a busy day today. Graysen had a PT evaluation this morning. The PT does not think that there is anything wrong with him. He looks great, but is slightly behind. It is not a big deal at all. He will receive weekly PT (in addition to the EI) to help catch him up to speed. The delay is due to loosing development time due to his first surgery, and his low level of oxygen. He will be able to catch up quickly after he has his second surgery and has 100% oxygen.

After the PT evaluation, we went to the pediatric cardiologist. (Well, we stopped at McDonald's inbetween appointments and got a snack. McDonald's sure knows how to market to a 2 year old. Caleb LOVES McDonald's.) The cardiologist said that Graysen looks great! His O2 stats are at 75%, but it is not a concern because he is going to have surgery soon. The drop in O2 is expected. The cardiologist receives all of the information from MUSC. He said that the surgery request was for November, and that we should be hearing from MUSC shortly on the exact date. (Nothing is definite until the surgeon sets the date.) His office is going to follow up with MUSC, and contact us within a few days. Overall, Graysen is doing really well, and he doesn't have any concerns.

After the doctor appointments, we had lunch at Alisha and Katelin's house. The kids enjoyed playing together, and it was nice to relax for a while.
