Another day, another doctor appointment

Our nearby children's hospital has 47 separate divisions or clinics (cardiology, genetics, radiology, etc.). We have had appointments with 12 of those 47 clinics. I hope it doesn't sound like I'm complaining because I'm not (at least, I don't think I am). I'm merely stating a fact--we've made many visits to the hospital these past 18 months. Almost monthly hospital visits to a variety of specialists simply weren't on the agenda two years ago when we found out I was pregnant with Buddy.

But, as usually happens, you just "do the next thing" (to borrow a phrase from favorite author Elisabeth Elliot), God gives grace, and life goes on. Today's visit was with the radiology division to conduct a swallow study on Buddy--to make sure he was swallowing food and liquids as he should be (a common WS symptom is trouble with swallowing). The outcome was that all looked good and he was swallowing as he ought. And so, we move on to the next doctor visit, ENT (otolaryngology) . . . .
