Doctor, doctor.....

Now there's an old song that I really liked!! :D
Here are some medical updates for us....

Curly Girl is now cast & splint free!! Hooray!!! She came home and climbed a tree. Don't tell the dr. She told her that she was unrestricted, but that she should probably wait a week or so to climb a tree. But I think she was born in a tree. She is always up there. Also, at another appointment, we found that she grew about another 1/2 inch. Every smidgen counts and we are happy. The dr showed her her very slow but raising growth curve, so she was a little encouraged.

For me personally, I didn't share this with many people, but I had a thyroid ultrasound for what the dr said was an enlargement in my neck. I saw a new dr and since I had never had an us on my thyroid, he thought it might be prudent. We were worried for a few days. My former dr mentioned indirectly that my thyroid was nodular, but never got a baseline. Sometimes nodules are nothing and other times they are cancerous. They called me last week and told me that everything looked ok. Yeah!!! Apparently, my thyroid must just be a little uneven.

Iz's eczema is flaring again. Oh, what fun!! I suspect it is pollen related since when winter came, it nearly disappeared and almost to the day he flared back up again. So, it seems to be a spring/summer thing. Doesn't make it much easier, though. We see the allergist in Aug.
