Friday, December 21, 2007 11:10 PM CST Amanda continues to do just fine. We recently changed pediatricians when being one cattle in the herd became unbelieveably ridiculous. We changed to a single Doc and hopefully that will make it easier with routines things. Basically the pediatric group, whos only job was to reimmunize Amanda, couldn't keep anything straight.
With Christmas approaching I think back to tryng to get back home from Duke 2 years ago. How hectic everything was. How frightened we were to leave the comfort of the doctors and hospital in North Carolina. How coming back home was sweet. We are so very lucky today. Lucky Amanda is truly doing great, enjoying school, life, family and living.
I hope everyone truly appreciates the health they have. It is truly something you cannot buy. OK some hospitals think you can, but really it is a gift.
Merry Christmas, Happy 2008
