The End
Today we went to Small Bugz's cardio appointment. He has had to go yearly for check ups since he had his surgeries. Last year they found a spot that they wanted to keep an eye on. This year they said that everything looks good and that there are no murmurs. They told us to come back when he is 13!! I may start to have withdraws from not going to so many specialist appointments for him. I think we are now down to just the yearly check ups with the pediatrician.
Last night, Small Bugz was awarded the Dragon Award. It is a school award for kids that set a goal to work on a list of things (the goals are different for each grade). The 4th graders had to do the standard things like not miss school more than 5 times a quarter or be tardy more than 2 times. They also had their reading and exercise time too. Then on top of that, they had to improve in their grades, do some power point presentations and book reports, plus do some outside projects, like scouting and service projects as well as a few other items. Out of about 800 kids only 280 or so decided to work to get this. They are given a pin to wear on the lanyard that the school gave all the kids. Each year they can earn this award and add to their pins plus get pins for doing Spelling Bee or Geography Bee type things.
We are glad that this school year is coming to an end - only 3 more weeks! It is hard to believe that it has been 10 years already. Just think, 10 years ago at this time I was sitting in the hospital staring out the window (starting June 8th) with a fetal monitor around my not so big tummy. And now he is getting too big to carry but at least he still tells me he loves me!

Yea for the good cardiology report. A three year appointment break... what would that be like. :) Wow, I can't believe it has been almost 10 years. Where does all the time go?
ReplyDeleteIt was hard to hide the excitement and astonishment when we were told- they now have an outpatient place in Riverton and it is one light down so we were excited to be so close too. When he turns 13 he will have to go every year again - they say that when they are changing so much they need to watch more.
ReplyDeleteThe joys of having kids with medical issues!
