Updates on Miss Caitlin- We went for OT yesterday and got a quick evaluation to see where Caitlin was at. They said Caitlin was doing great with a lot of her motor skills and also gave us a little bit of extra tips on feeding her. We also will probably be having an appointment with a speech therapist as well. The speech therapist is great of course for language but also good for feeding as well. Also they recommended Caitlin getting a barium swallowing test to so I have to call Dr this morning and try and get the referral for that. OK so that was first appointment.

Second appointment was suppose to be for the urologist finally. Well we showed up at what we thought was our time in one office and they said that our appointment was early that day. What!!! I had talked to two different people and they both gave me the later time so go figure. Anyway in order to see the urologist that day we had to drive an extra half hour further and have our appointment 2 hours later. So we know what the traffic is like so we had to go back towards home and go get Dillon from school early in case we didn't make it back on time. OK so now we ended up having to wait about an hour and a half for our appointment because the Dr was running behind 2 hours because he had a surgery early. Yikes, what fun. Knowing we were going to have to wait that long Jesus had an appointment about 20 minutes away so I told him to go ahead and do that and just pick me up afterwords. (Jesus sprained his foot at work)Well Caitlin ended up finishing her appointment about 5:30 or so but Jesus wasn't finished with his yet so we got to wait an extra hour at our Dr's office. Now doesn't that sound like fun!!

OK now for report on our urologist appointment. I loved the Dr. He was worth the wait. He was very detailed in everything, asked if I had any questions at all, and I didn't feel rushed either even as far behind as he was. He told me all the options and and what we were going to do.
OK so as of right now Caitlin is going to have a KUB http://www.aurorahealthcare.org/yourhealth/healthgate/getcontent.asp?URLhealthgate=%2214830.html%22
and renal Ultrasound(possibly same thing lol)It is going to show in more detail about where her kidney stones are located and how big they are and what they consist of. Depending on all of that we will decide then if we are able to do the ultrasound shock waves http://adam.about.com/reports/000081_9.htm to break them up. Also if they are dissolving though we would of course keep her on her meds and get evaluations about every 6 mos from our urologist and still probably be seen by our nephrologist every 3 mos, that way we will keep a close eye. That's about it for our appointments. Caitlin is cutting her bottom tooth now as well though!! I went to feel it because I thought I saw a baby baby sliver and yep sure enough. It also looks as though she is starting to cut through her teeth right next to her top two front teeth. It seems we waited forever for these puppy's to come out and we just might be getting them all at once. Fun Fun.
