Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Good luck tomorrow Sohnia! My fingers are crossed the thumbprinting has gone away. It sounds like she's doing very well in her helmet. I love the finger up her nose story, how funny!!! Gotta love kids! Is there any way you can get the results of the scan before April 21st? That wait would kill me, I'd give myself an ulcer wondering & worrying. It's good hearing from you. Best of luck tomorrow. Hugs!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 I will keep your daughter in my thoughts. The odds are good, so try not to worry. Were they able to tell you the cause of the holes? Can helmets cause them? Doreen > Hi all! Livy is scheduled for her second CT scan tomorrow morning to > see whether the thumbprinting is going away.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Thanks all for the warm wishes. I kind of know what to look for so you can guess that I will be looking at the films myself. Livy's 15 month well baby visit is April 1st and I plan to bring both sets of films to the ped. unless my husband shames me into not bringing them. > > > Hi all!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 You will definitely be in my prayers. I asked my pediatrician call the radiologist to get Ellen's CT results the next day. You sound like you have the very best attitude. I love the nose story- my middle one used to laugh hysterically when people asked her to point to her nose and she could reach up there too! Best wishes for the very best results! and Ellen (Westfield, MA) > > > > Hi all!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Hi Sohnia, Good to hear from you! I'm glad Livy is doing so well. Please let us know how her appt goes when you get back. I can't believe they expect you to wait that long for the results! I don't think I could do it! Hannah does that same thing when you ask her where her nose is, lol. She did it in video we were taking to send to my grandfather. We were trying to show off her skills, lol. Any projected graduation date? , mom to Hannah, DOC #3 3/30 Cape Cod, Ma > Hi all!
