Hi guys,
WELL finally I get time to blog . . . As you all know we took the 2 hour trip to the BIG hospital on Thursday. I had to see my specialists PLUS we also had to take Sumara along for her check up .
GOOD NEWS was had for both of us . .
Firstly Sumara - The doctor was so very pleased by her overall appearance. She weighed in at 13.5kg's and stand a proud 84cm's which is VERY tall for a 24month old . .. We discussed sumara's GORD and even though she is a GREAT weight both the Doctor and I agreed that this is totally due to the fact that her father and I go above and beyond.
Sumara is still on prescription formula and because she barely eats through the day she still often wakes at night needing her special formula . . SO I got the referral that I was wanting for the new pediatrician in Hobart . . YIPPEE. .. WE are hoping that this new doctor will be able to help out poor little angel . . It is so unfair that eating etc causes her so much pain . .
NOW as for me . . I have been placed on an urgent list to have my operation . . The government has finally provided the funds for six people to get the operation . . It seems unfair that only 6 will get the surgery BUT i am so glad that I will be one of them . .
The doctor explained that It will take a month to prep me for the surgery and it will take another 3 months for me to recover. The doctor also explained that I would be in severe pain and discomfort afterwards but as he said, no pain no gain and I agree . .
The hope is that I will go very well with this surgery and my hope is that I can get my life back, preferably pain free at the end of it all!! . . . So some time in the next 6 months I will get my surgery, how cool is that?? . . I am so excited but I am also terrified . . .
Anyway that's me for now . . . Cheers Kellz |
