Namine’s ortho clinic visit
So we took Namine to her second ortho clinic visit. The first one was a long time ago now, so they wanted to see her again. I can never seem to remember the ortho doctor’s name, maybe it’ll come to me as I type this. Anyway, he explained basically the same thing he explained over…

Namine’s office visit
After picking Jessica and Namine up from the clinic visit at the hospital, we stopped by my office, which happens to be just down the road. I don’t remember if we’ve ever taken Namine into my work to play show-and-tell before, but if we have, it was a long time ago. So either way, it…

Namine had her clinic visit with her plastic surgeon this morning. Nothing but good news: her palate has no damage, and is healing nicely. More later!

Vacation

Yesterday Namine had her pre-op clinic visit, necessary prior to surgery next week. Everything is looking good, and she’s approved for the repair. So,…

Namine: 2, Allergies: 1
Today Namine had an appointment at Children’s Hospital with the allergy people. (I don’t really know what the department is really called. I doubt they call themselves “allergy people.”) Last time, we found out that she was allergic to cheese (but we’ve stayed away from all dairy, just to be safe) and rice. Today, they…

Clinic Day
Namine had clinic visits galore today. She had a swallow study, determining how well she can eat and drink; a pre-surgery meeting with Dr. Denny, her plastic surgeon; and a visit to GI (gastrointestinal).
