MRI Tomorrow

Even though Raquel has been really sick, Children's Hospital is still planning on doing the MRI tomorrow morning. I called yesterday, pretty confident that they wouldn't want to sedate a sick child and that I'd have to reschedule. Not the case. As long as she doesn't develop a fever, vomiting or diarrhea, or any type of asthma condition, they can do the test. And, considering she is doing much better today compared to yesterday, I'm assuming she'll be feeling even better tomorrow morning.

Besides having a swollen and crusty nose, she fell on Sunday in our bedroom and has a cut on it. Then, this morning, she was playing in her room, lost her balance and fell into her dresser, splitting her bottom lip. Not good, but she's a real trooper and is handling it really well. I just don't like having to take her tomorrow looking so beat up. But at least she still has all those curls...



I also spoke with Bev, my Education Consultant, last night. She called to check in and see how things were going. When I told her she was in the orthopedic class, she was a bit concerned and wanted to know exactly what they do with her there. When I told her that she has applied physical education therapy once a week and speech therapy twice a week, she asked me where the occupational & behavior therapists were. I really have no idea, and I'm pretty sure that wasn't the answer Bev wanted to hear, especially considering my biggest concerns were sensory and behavior related. So, Bev will be observing Raquel in class before our IEP Review Meeting so she will be able to address whether or not this is an appropriate placement for Raquel. She is really curious as to what they are doing with her education wise outside of her therapy sessions.

In the meantime, just looking forward to getting through tomorrow. Please pray for a safe test for my girl!
