Janie update

[paljane8]

I talked to Children's, the doc and the therapists yesterday and it was so good because I got a lot of info. The visit at Children's isn't until Sept but, we are on the cancellation call-back list. So, really, it could be any time between now and Sept. The doc gave us some great info on syndromes and gave us his take. He was very positive and reasuring. He is going to meet with her next week. The therapists have the same thoughts as the others last week. Janie's features are not glaring but there are enough of them that it would be worth having her genetically tested. She tested well yesterday but, she is significantly delayed and in the areas consistant with syndromes. Janie's tongue is out most of the time and they are not sure yet if it is neurological or because of her oral low tone. So, we wait for answers. And in my oppinion, syndromes are just a list of symptoms anyway. She is who she is.

Nancy,

I just wanted to let you know I'm keeping you and Janie in my prayers. As with so many health related things not knowing is many times the worst part. I hope that you can find some peace while you wait for your appointment. If I can ever be of any support to you, please email me. I'd love to give back some of the support you have given me:)

Thanks. I am so appreciative of the thoughts and prayers. Janie had a visit with the doc. More of the same. She is >16lbs now. She looks good. Just waiting... She meets with the OT tomorrow. Can y'all believe she will be a year next week?!!!

Adriana, Giselle is GORGEOUS! Great avatar!

Ann Marie, how's Luke? I e-mailed you, sweetie.

Thanks! I think she's pretty gorgeous myself, unfortunately she doesn't take after me. OH well, maybe next one will be a boy that looks like me.

Hope Janie's meeting went good today. And I know, I can't believe Gigi turns 1 year next month!

The OT went well. But, you know how they focus on the things babies can't do? That is wearing on me! She (the OT) wants to do some massage therapy along with the ot to increase circulation to Janie's legs. She said it will help her muscles develop. That's pretty cool. The ot is great, I am not sure who the st (speech therapist) will be but, I am trying to get this one gal I love. I don't like the pt (physical therapsit) very much but, I thought I would give her a chance before we wave 'buh bye' (sorry Catherine-I had to steal it)

Adriana-don't you hate that! You do all the work and they look like DH!!!
