    A trip to the ER

    Jessica and Namine were on their way to the eye clinic this morning when Namine threw up.

    When we told Namine she had an appointment with Dr. Black, we were met with a look of confusion.

    Unintentional injury

    There are few things as disheartening as accidentally injuring your child.

  • Stronger than ever

    Stronger than ever

    Namine had an orthopedic appointment today. She was nervous, as she is wont to be when it comes to doctors, but afterward she said it was silly to be so.

  • Two fun days

    Two fun days

    When I say “fun,” I actually mean “not fun.” We’ve spent the last couple days in and out of the pediatrician’s and the ER, trying to figure out why Namine is experiencing abdominal pain. Again.

  • Today was a waste of time

    Today was a waste of time

    Namine continues her current prescription to treat this mysterious abdominal pain. This can’t go on indefinitely, however; so Jessica took her in to see the urologist for more tests and, possibly, an answer as to why this has happened at all.

    What matters most

    Yesterday we found out that Namine’s most recent x-ray shows evidence of a congenital defect in her right shoulder.

  • At the cardiology clinic

    At the cardiology clinic

    As you can see, Namine was super cheerful today. She knew what was in store – an x-ray, a blood draw, and then on to see the cardiologist – but nothing could sour her mood. No, not even the blood draw.

  • Trip to the ER

    Trip to the ER

    For a couple days now, Namine has had a fever. It hasn’t been high enough to merit calling the doctor, according to her discharge papers; they say to call if she has a fever of 101 for two days in a row, and her fever has only reached 100.4. But part of the incision on…
