Today my mommy, daddy and I all went to a special clinic at the children's hospital. There were a lot of other kids there and we met with a lot of doctors, so we were there for over 3 hours! Mom and dad ran out of milk after about 2 hours, so they were very nervous that I would start getting fussy, but they made so many funny faces at me that I couldn't be sad.
Everyone kept telling me how cute I am and what a good baby I am. I didn't really know what they were talking about because I was just being myself, of course. I was polite and smiled at all the new people I met, and the doctors had a lot of fun "toys" for me to play with as they checked out my arms and legs. They said I looked very strong and healthy, which I am!
I got an x-ray too so that the bone doctors could make sure my breaks are healing right. I was a little concerned at first, but I was perfectly still for it. The doctors showed mom and dad the pictures and everyone was so pleased! Everything is healing perfectly. The doctors also said that any bowing in my legs may just straighten out on its own since I am still growing.
The Orthopedic doctor told us that I don't need any early intervention since I am moving everything and obviously not in any pain, and the Genetics doctor said that we should wait to get any treatment since I am doing so great. We are going back in November to see everyone again, and my mom and dad might meet another family who has a little boy with OI.
As for me, I am pretty tired after my busy day. Mommy and daddy cuddled me extra and rocked me to sleep a little longer today because they were so thankful and happy. I'm happy too, but I always new everything would be alright.
It's off to sleep for me, to have sweet dreams about bottles, funny faces, cuddles and nice, warm baths...
....goodnight
Hooray!!! We are all so happy that you're growing so strong. Keep up the good work, Maggie :)
