Living with CP: the early years part 30.

Hello everyone.  I hope you all are having a great day today.  In this entry I'm going to tell you all about my first appointment with doctor Ellen Kitts. I'm also going to tell you about some of the events that followed that appointment.  Let's get started. 

Me again.

Prior to the appointment, we received a call as to what we were to bring with us.  The lady on the phone said it might be three hours before we could see the doctor so we were ready for a long day. 

Steve from ATG Rehab went with us that day because he wanted to hear what she had to say.  We were sitting in the waiting area and we kept seeing this lady come out in the hall.  She had white hair and she would just come out and walk down the hall and actually pick stuff up.  So we thought she was the cleaning lady.  After they called my name and the nurse did all that pre-check stuff, here came the doctor and it was that lady we had seen in the hall.  I think my appointment was scheduled at 1 o'clock and I got in about 4. Does that tell you how booked she was? 

Uncle Tom, Me and my Dad.

When she came in Grandma told her everything about me. She checked me and my chair out everywhere.  We were there about three hours talking to her and the first thing she wanted to get me was some occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech therapy.  She wanted everyone to work together to try to get my trunk stronger so I could sit up better.  Next, she wanted a new chair for me because she had determined that the one I had was too small for me. 

In my next update, see where we go from here. Have a great day everyone.
