Guest guest Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Hi All !! Rebekah saw her cf Dr yesterday for yearly physical.Drum Roll Please she is now 42 " and 40-1/2 pounds she gained 1-1/2 pounds and grew 2''.She has stayed at the 5th percentile for 3 years slow and steady thats my turtle girl!! Her Dr looked at me and said it looks like she will be 5'1 and he smiled and asked the obvious how tall are you I am 5'1-3/4 " I am a short small (Dr's call petite in kids) full grown woman .So it looks like she will take after Mom not Dad (he is 6'1) we are all pleased by her growth spurt since Christmas she has grown so fast.Rebekah likes to eat Scandishakes dry(UGH!) so I just add 2 ozs.of half & half to 5 ozs.of milk and it has worked maybe if I add heavy cream she will gain more faster. A little update our 16 year old has been a run away lately so I had a PINS petition signed for her the day before court she ran away .The judge sent her to a detention group home for 14 days.She goes to court on April 2 to see if she has to stay there for a year or if she can come home.April 3rd is the day I met my husband in 1979 it is also the day the doctor confirmed what we already knew Rebekah had cf that was 6 years ago.I am considering the pro's and cons of her going to school .The issues are this is a small community (ie school nurse part time) Illiterate,uneducated,inbred (I am not joking everyone is kin to everyone else) I know the graduating class was less than 200. The school has air quality issues as I found out with my 8 year old she had 2 years of terrible headaches and dark circles under her eyes coughing stuffed nose, she is now in a different area of the school and has no problems. Our bankruptcy is final we are now bankrupt.The house is going to be auctioned April 10th.I have had no voice for 3 weeks my kids are taking advantage of it terribly too! I am going to call Make a Wish back now that we have the mono bug under control . I am soo glad we didn't bring those people into that nightmare we had .Well we go back to clinic next month to see how the cultures were and do x-rays we got to skip yesterday.Rebekah is so silly she has this belly laugh I wish you all could hear she is playing with her little brother(he weighs 44 pounds and is 40in. he will be 4 in May) running back and forth and laughing Kids are Great!

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Hi, I'm so happy for you and Rebekah. I love to hear about great clinic visits. Our next one is in April and we are hoping for another weight gain! I hope all turns out well with your 16 year old. Is there a chance of you home schooling Rebekah? If not look into the 504 and IEP posts. Good luck! cfparents-Drum Roll Rebekah's great clinic visit Hi All !!

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Becky, I am so glad to hear Rebekah had such a wonderful check-up!! ) Yah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! About the school stuff, I know exactly where you are coming from. And in the end we decided to homeschool , we are almost thru with his kindergarten year. he is loving it --and so am I. We work at his pace, it is very easy to work around dr appts, when he is sick he doesn't get behind, he eats and drinks when he is hungry/thirsty, and the list goes on and on......... If you need any info on hs I would be happy to answer and questions you have. ) Take care, Deana Mom to 12 ncf and 6 wcf cfparents-Drum Roll Rebekah's great clinic visit Hi All !!
