Scary X-ray

On Wednesday, we had to take Kayla down to Syracuse for her year appt. with her surgeon.. which was pretty much just an x-ray and a "hey how is everything going" with Dr. R. Well.. that "hey how is everything" was a "hey so the x-ray looked a little strange to me."  UM YIKES!! Mama Olmstead does not like to hear anything like this.. so of course I immediately panicked! Dr. R didn't seem too concerned but he listened to her anyway and said she sounded great- didn't hear bowels up in the chest or anything.. he just said she sounded "great"!

Now there was also confusion with the x-ray technician.. apparently the last time we were there, the technician labeled the sides wrong.  Therefore it was confusing to the technician on Wednesday- so when Dr. R got that all figured out he came back to us and said I really don't think she's reherniated. He proceeded to show us the x-ray- and where the gortex patch was - it was high- and not at the same level as the diaphragm  - the real diaphragm can move normally, but the patch does not ... does not function like that.  Dr. R said that her patch appears to be thin and she so small that it's hard to see much and it will be easier to tell when she is older - so he thinks in 6 months he will be able to see better.

So pretty much we were told to watch her- and they would check up again in 6 months.  It's still a little scary to think about her reherniating but for now all we know is she is doing well.  However, since he didn't want to do another x-ray that same day, or even in 3 months makes me feel a little at ease seeing how if he thought even a little bit that she had reherniated that he would have done the x-ray sooner than 6 months.

On a happier note- here are some cute pics of K at the playground.. she LOVES the swing!! :)
