Holy Cow!!
I was just complaining to Rick tonight about how sometimes I feel like I live at the Dr.'s office (We were just there again today for Lauren & Audrey this afternoon). I decided to look in my dayplanner and count how many Dr.'s appointments I have been to since January 1, 2008. Can you believe I have taken the kids to 48 Dr.'s appointments so far this year??? And that's not even counting labs, x-rays, developmental assesments, the 6 hours a week the girls and I spend in therapy for them or Audrey's sleep study and surgey/hospital stay! So far this year we have seen the Allergist, the Neurologist, the ENT, the Pediatrician (numerous times), the Orthodontist (monthly), the Pediatirc Orthopedic, and the Dentist. We have had 3 trips to the ER (all for Audrey-one of them resulting in her hospitalization) and 2 trips to the Urgent Care (we were just there on Monday for Lauren).
Audrey has had surgery, Jamison had his braces taken off while Lauren has had her lower braces put on and is getting her back brace for scoliosis this Friday. We've had teeth cleannings, twisted ankles, a cavity filled, a strange rash that we thought was a food allergy, sinus infections, and lots of ear infections. There is never a dull moment in the Phethean Household!!!
One appointment I am looking forward to this month is the girls 15 month appointment. I can't wait to find out how much they have grown since their last check up!!!!!

I know that feeling! We are at the Dr 3x's next week! Plus school and speech for Caleb and the rest! And Molly has HER eval at the end of the month for Regional Center! WHOHOO!
Oh Jen! I can't believe how many times....you might as well live at the doctors office!!!!!!
I surely hope it gets better for you soon!!!
Wow Jen, that is a lot of time spent in doctor's offices. And a lot of copays! Hopefully they will start to become fewer and far between.
Yikes! That is quite a number of Dr. visits! I have been to the Dr. so much since Dane has been born, between him, Zach, and myself. When I call to make an appt, I don't even have to give my name because they recognize me. How sad. Hey, did you know that I had a back brace when I was in jr. high also?? Maybe scoliosis runs on the Douglass side?? e-mail me if you want to talk about that or have questions. is it a full brace? how is lauren handling that? mine went under my clothes, totally covered and no one really knew. I wore it from 7th grad to 9 grade, all day. then soph. yr, i only wore it at night, then I was done with it after that. :) when i got mine, there was only one office in OC I think, that made those. I wonder if you are going to the same guy....
Wow Jen! You really do mean it when you say you feel like you live at the Drs office! Lets hope the rest of the year is more spread out!
