Appt with rheum.

[Guest guest]

I meant to post several days ago. Thanks for your advice! It really pushed me to

stop second guessing myself.

I made an appt. for Henry to see the rheum. tomorrow morning. Since I have taken

the week off, I took a shot at her having some availability so soon, and we are

driving 3.5 hours today to see her in the morning.

Poor kid gets so irritated with me when I bring up his hands or his neck, but he

is learning that he starts to feel better when someone pays attention.

If the doctor does take this seriously, what can I expect? Is there a better (o

worse) way to present this? I feel a little better going up to her office in KC,

rather than the quick-clinic she has every two months. Thanks, Veri, or I would

have thought to just expect that anywhere!

Once you start looking at their little quirks so many start to look like

possibly more. I plan on finding some pictures as well that show how he reads. I

have MANY pictures of his reading a book while laying on a table, or bench of a

picnic table with the book below him. I have begun wondering if this is some

subconscious way of keeping his neck in a neutral position. I have just always

thought this was just cute.

If he is suffering any kind of damage that we can't see, even with physical

exam, how can they find it?

I am not sure what else to ask you all for, but I know that you have been down

this road before me, and have the wisdom to help me know what to be assertive

about.

Thank you for your help, as always,

Kim
