So I wrote you on Tuesday, giving you an update on Katelyn's orthopedic appt. Guess what still nothing from them.... I have called everyday about 20 times and they have not sent over the refferal yet to the neurologist... Talk about frustrating... I also have called Mercy to get her MRI and Xrays and her charts from all the doctors and they have not gotten them to me yet either.... So if there is no word but tomorrow at noon then I am going to the hospital and getting all of it myself.... It is so frustrating to know there is something wrong with your kids and they dont care enough about the patient, only about their paycheck..... I will update you as soon as I get some more info....
But keep the prayers going for her.....

Doctors get paid to make you wait and to guess what is wrong...
So I took Katelyn into the orthopedic specialist, yes a specialist and he asks me what was wrong, that is what I went in there for... So after I explained everything to him and he tells me that he never got the x rays from the ER so everything in her MRI looked fine, except there is some fluid in her spinal cord, not sure why. So he wants a second opinion from a neurologist. After waiting around for 75 minutes in the room for him, he tells me to be the doctor and everything was fine as he could see..... But he wants to see us back in 2 or 3 weeks.... Yeah, thats what I was wondering.... Why would he see us back and we is now out of the loop!!! I want answers so my daughter can go back to normal activity. She is out of her neck brace but still not able to go to gymnastics or PE at school..... I just paid a SPECIALIST to guess what was wrong and wait for him to do this... UGH!! The more I think about it the more mad I get.... And what is worse is he was rude when he came in the room.... I was not happy with this place.... But thats Mercy and Saltzer for you..... So we are scheduling her neurologist appt in the morning... I will let you know how it goes when we see him.... Hope fully I get some answers this time......

Doctors
So I took Katelyn back in to the doctors that diagnosed her with the virus and they checked her again and he was still sticking to his results, so e called over to the ER and they gave him the final results from the X rays. Her 4th and 5th vertebrae are not aligned correctly, so they called the orthopedic surgeon and called over to get a MRI. After her MRI they said all her nerves looked okay and they scheduled us to see the orthopedic doctor on Tuesday to find out what to do from here. She is in a neck brace and has to take it easy till then.... She still can not move her right side of her neck and still is in pain... But she is such a trooper through it all.... I am so proud of her and everything she has been through and accomplished.... She amazes me everyday!!!! Anyways, I will update you on Tuesday after her doctors appt. Please pray for her!!!

Nothing broken
Wow this week was a fly bye... I don't even know where it went.... Anyways, we had a busy week. I worked Mon, Wed, and Today. I am loving the studio and it feels so good to be back in there!!! If you need pictures give us a call!! So anyways, we had a cancellation on our babysitter for the week, thank goodness I have the best of Friends... Calise you are a life saver!!! But everyting turned out okay... I go to class Tuesday and Thursday but last night I wasn't able to make it due to Codys car brokr down again, this time its the radiator not the engine.... And Katelyn tore the muscle in the right side of her neck... I have no clue how it happened she woke up not moving it... I took her in to Quich care and they told us the gland in the neck was swolen and it was from a virus.... I thought it was weird so we went home and she took a nap and when she woke up the swelliing was worse and she was crying, which if you know Katelyn that never happens.... So I took her to the ER and they did some xrays, which made her cry some more and they said nothking was broke, it was a tore muscle probably a muscle spasm.... Which I think something is still wrong with the diagnosis still cause now it is all bruised and really tight and hurting her pretty bad.... I dont know what to do.... I thought if it wasnt better by Monday then I would take her in again.... I will update you on her condition as time goes on.... Crazy kid anyways... This weekend is going to be slow, hopefully we are having game night with some friends. Okay, so I will write at the beginning of the week...
