Another Referral

Monday was Miss Spitfire's check up with her Doctor. We covered all of my issues and she has decided to send us to St.Vincent's Childrens Hospital for further testing and hopefully treatment.

Almost a year ago we were referred to Riley. We of course went and they ran some tests and came to the conclusion that she was fine. Well a year later we are having the same issues, but now she gets fevers on top of the stomach pain. The fevers do not come every time her stomach hurts (heck if that was the case she would have to be home schooled), but they come too frequent.

I was so worried and stressed about going to her check up on Monday, but the day FINALLY came and I felt so calm. It was kind of weird. I was up all night the night before...well actually the whole 3 weeks of waiting. I made myself sick a couple of times with fear and lack of good sleep. I know the Lord was to blame for my calmness on Monday and I am so grateful for him. I also have such a good feeling about going to St.Vincents. I have heard such good stories about them and especially the gastroenterology team! I have talked to a couple of moms who have seen this team and there a very pleased with the doctors themselves and the results they have gotten for their children. I am praying we get the same results.

I am not sure of the appointment date yet. My doctor said she would call by Thursday to let me know a date. I am anxious to get in there and hopefully get some answers and relief for my little Spitfire! I am however not anxious one bit to take her in for all of the tests, she doesn't do well with needles at all... but who does right?!

I thank you everyone for all of the kind words, thoughts and prayers. Thank you for caring and being there for me during a difficult time of waiting. I ask that everyone please continue to pray for her!!!
