Tia had two year check up today

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

Just wanted to share that Tia had an (almost) 2 year check up today. We traveled

to Seattle Children's Hospital for a barium study and appt. with her surgeon,

Dr. Waldhausen. Tia is doing very well. There was some " pooling " of barium

before it entered her stomach but it did enter. The doctor just stressed to Tia

that she really needs to chew, chew, chew, have more frequent small meals and

lots of water. Like , Tia also gets full very easily. Today was a very

positive day. The doctor said unless we need to see him, he will plan on seeing

us in 2 years. I got the peace of mind that I was hoping for.

 

One more week of summer then Tia will be in 6th grade, middle school, she is

really excited. I have all the paperwork in order to allow her to have water and

snacks with her at all times. I have already contacted the counselor and nurse

and they have been very supportive.

 

 Fast pitch is over and now we are into soccer. I can't believe how fast she is

growing up. Today was definitely a great day! Wishing many great days to

everyone! Hope your days are sunny.

and Tia

Dear and Tia,

I am so pleased to hear that things are going so well for you both. It's

wonderful to hear the positive stories- we need that balance, as we suffer with

those who are having a hard time.

Please give Tia a big hug from me and tell her that she has a right to be proud

of her courage and persistence.

 

Lots of love from Ann

to me)XX

Hi & Tia,

Congratulations on your 2 year check-up! I'm glad they only did a barium study

and not an endoscopy. I've had more than I can count, and it would be very

unpleasant for a child. (Mind you, the other tests are worse!).

I wish you the best!
