Another overdue update…

We saw Dr. Bettis, the neurologist, last Thursday. I intended to make a blog post Thursday evening and all the sudden it is Tuesday! The appointment went great and Dr. Bettis had nothing but positive things to say. He reminded us that out of all the neonatal stroke victims he has seen over his career, zero have had additional strokes. After examining Ruby he mentioned had he not known her health history he would look at us and ask why we had brought a perfectly healthy baby in to see him. Because Ruby is doing so well he asked that we put off the second MRI until December. Apparently the longer we wait the more information the MRI will give him.

Next month we will have Ruby’s Protein C level tested as well as her hearing. Dr. Kim will set us up with the ophthalmologist over at the Elks Rehabilitation Center in November.

This weekend we are headed to the cabin to introduce Ruby to the Great Outdoors! It will be nice to go play around in the mountains! Papa Bear has a lot of fishing stories he is ready to share with Ruby…well actually he’s just ready to take Ruby fishing and as willing as I’m sure she will be we will have to hold off until she can actually hold a fishing pole!!! I think Grandma Gene has some hiking spots we might check out…if nothing else we get to sleep in and get some good rest (and take a million pictures of Ruby)!!
