We talked to Jessie Doctors office which made things confusing.

January 4, 2006

just got off the phone with Dr. Blasier's office, Jessie's

ortho specialist. I must say things just got more confusing. He

talked to a nurse whom had Jessie's medical records in front of her.

and I just talked and do NOT trust this place at all. First

off the nurse had no idea what COB nor RVAD meant. had to

give her the definitions over the phone. All she could tell us was

that Jessie started at a 35 degree in September and has progressed

to a 57.6 degree. The nurse said his curve goes from the left

shoulder blade to the top of his hip mostly on his left side. She

confirmed that Jessie was to have a CT scan last week as well as

today in which Leigh Ann, Jessie's mother, had called and cancelled

them due to Jessie having a cold. The CT scan is now rescheduled for

January 11, 2005. When asked about bracing she told

that since Jessie's curvature is so high it wouldn't be helpful to

Jessie as they are treating it as congentile. It seems that the

doctors are believing with the other xrays there is a good

possiblility of a reason for Jessie's scoliosis. When asked

her why the CT scan wasn't done in September, she had no answer.

and I are sitting here talking and think it is a real good

idea to take Jessie elsewhere. It bothers me terribly that this

nurse had no clue as to what Cobb and RVAD was. I guess the only

good thing I can think of out of all this is that Jessie won;t have

the surgery they are so anxious to do until after court. It sure

makes us want to just fly down there, swoop our little man up and

bring him home for better care. Is it January 17, 2006 yet? That is

our court date. If we don't get custody it is hard to say what his

mother will have done.
