Of course we did lots of walking. Well, I walked, Christina rode in an oversized wheelchair. I also made a modified seat in a large wagon and brought that with. We got lots of comments about how much we walk together.

Christina is scheduled to have hip surgery on June 28. There was a rush put on scheduling the hip surgery so that she can have back surgery sooner than later.

I am not sure what to think. This news really hit hard. I feel like I got hit in the gut with a two by four. After the last doctor appointment covering the hip and back we talked about scheduling the hip surgery late summer. This alone did not sit well with me. The thought of it made me uncomfortable.

Now I am very distraught trying to get a grasp on everyting. I started on the temporary wagon seat for Christina and her being casted. Soon to be done and ready for the princess.

Having been in the hospital for so long and this stay was quite different from the others, I find myself running ideas for future stays through my head.

The common question since returning is "How is Christina doing?". The simple answer is "She is doing well." The best answer would be "I do not know."

The trip there went well. We took the van and listened to Christina's favorite traveling music. No tears!!! And no tears on the way home until we were a few miles from home. Christina needed to use the bathroom which brought the tears.

Christina does not have to go back to the neurologist. It was great news. It also was a little sad, we have been seeing Dr. Burnstein since Christina was a month old. He said Christina is doing awesome.

we don't see the Dr. Moore again for a year. He too is pleased with Christina's progress.

Christina had a bad night Thursday. We now think that the trips to the docs are that overwhelming for her and that it is not the car ride that pushes her senses to the point she vomits and does not sleep.

Christina may also have strep.

The car ride went well there and Christina cried on the way home. Angela had a tough time in the car with her sore leg. I felt bad for both of them.

Christina is still down for a nap and it is time to get dinner started.

Christina has been a daddy's girl for the last few weeks. When we came home it was hugs and kisses for me and right to mommy.

Christina is doing wonderful in school. She is much more social and enjoys being around other kids. It is amazing how children act and react around Christina. Many parents and other adults need a good slap up-side the head.

We had an appointment for Christina with Dr. Taniguchi on Oct. 23. The appointment went well, the drive we still need to work on. Phenol blocks and Botox are scheduled for December. An eye appointment is scheduled on Nov. 20 with Dr. Engle and the dentist in Dec.

I am doing better than I have been. Angela and my relationship hit a rough spot. We are back on track and both of us are working on staying that way.

It is time for coffee. ]]> General, Derek, Christina, Doctors https://www.kademan.net/blog/index.php?entry=entry091113-053028 blog@derekkademan.com (Derek Kademan) Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:30:28 GMT https://www.kademan.net/blog/comments.php?y=09&m=11&entry=entry091113-053028 https://www.kademan.net/blog/index.php?entry=entry090602-195740
The next round of Phenol blocks and Botox is scheduled in two weeks. It will be a very long week. We will head up Wednesday, have surgery on Thursday, keep Christina mellow the rest of the day, switch hotels Friday and go to the rehearsal dinner for dad's wedding, dad gets married on Saturday and then head home on Sunday. Hopefully with time to enjoy Father Day with some Daddy and Christina time.

I also picked up another domain. I am trying to organize the domains a little better and keep the files clean. I have to import Christina's blog again before transferring it over to the new server.

Dr. Burnstein said he is impressed with how far Christina has come. And, we don't have to go back for a year. I never thought those words would mean so much.

Christina has been giving Angela and myself some grief, it seems she wants the other parent no matter which one of us is holding her. Her upper molars have poked through, yet still creep along making her uncomfortable. It is nice to have behavioral issues for a change. Although, they can stop now.

Not much else is new. I still have a few weeks of school. It is going well. I am trying to get the most out of it. Angela is ready for a break, I hope she can relax in California.

Christina has been vocalizing more, she tries so hard. The phenol blocks and the Botox are wearing off too. She is still willing to walk, it is harder for her. You can see how hard it is. There have been times her little legs shake as she tries to take a step.

Sad now, gotta go.]]> General, Christina, Doctors https://www.kademan.net/blog/index.php?entry=entry090408-075958 blog@derekkademan.com (Derek Kademan) Wed, 08 Apr 2009 14:59:58 GMT https://www.kademan.net/blog/comments.php?y=09&m=04&entry=entry090408-075958
