We hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It was quiet and relaxing which is just what we needed. Instead of the traditional turkey I made a roast beef tenderloin with cranberry-red wine sauce. It was wonderful. Also, made a pumpkin pie with the cookies that Grace can eat for the crust! Very yummy!
I went to the hand surgeon and he aspirated the volar ganglion cyst and then injected it with cortisone. My first cortisone injection. It hurt and continued to hurt for about two days, then great no pain. The area is still bigger and if it does not go down in two weeks he will proceed with a surgery.
I have to start my first insurance appeal. Yes, my doctor did a full panel on my thyroid, being that I am so exhausted, and there is a history of hypothyroidism in my family. Well, the EOB stated no benefits for cosmetic surgery! I did not know that blood work could be cosmetic, HA! So $1,500.00, is the amount.
However, the exciting news on the court is that Saturday morning Grace road her Big Wheel and tricycle successfully for the first time. Yes, she was able to pedal, did not get frustrated and quit for quite some time. I got so emotional I had to go inside for a bit, you know to gather my emotions! Wow, what an accomplishment! It was futile all the efforts that we made in the past and then it was just like a switch was flipped, so wonderful.
Grace has been walking on her heels a lot now and if she is on her toes it is barely, not like before on her tippy toes. She does have to retrain her brain and practice with her right foot/leg. When she walks flat foot her toes are outward and she does not bend her knee. It is difficult but she knows that she can do all things through God who gives her strength. She ate some food that was not apart of her diet and we are seeing the results all ready. Yes, she is whining a lot, and disconnected and rebellious. It is amazing, and I would not of believed it if I did not see it for myself. When she is on her diet she is fun loving energetic, determined and happy.
I started to get a nasty cold last night and stayed in bed all day today. Gabrielle took a nap and Chris took Grace out on the town. They came back with Band Hero. Unbelievable! I walked downstairs to Grace playing the drums! Amazing! Believe it or not, this is therapy for her. It is the same principal as her Bp2 program, with the interactive metronome.
We go to A Healing Place tomorrow to get the results for her OAT test. Then Wednesday afternoon, she gets her first cast of three. Friday is her eye appointment. Pray for me and the doctor that he has a better attitude this visit and I am patient with him!!!
Going to rest up again and get ready for another week!
