Good News! No, Great News!

In 2014 Riley and I have seen a lot of doctors! A LOT!

Not as many as some years in the past, but compared to the average 6 year old, it's been a ton! And the last doctors appointment of the year was a great one! I'm feeling extremely thankful!



At TCH today we met with the CMV Infectious Disease doctor, Doctor Demmler. This was a big appointment that I have been anxious about. We went to try to determine if many/some/all of Riley's challenges may have been caused by congenital CMV which is a common cold virus that can cause many birth defects.

It was a long appointment that resulted in some seriously good news! It is highly unlikely that Riley has congenital CMV. Dr Demmler is going to do more digging and testing but she seriously doubts it! That means my concerns over progressive hearing and sight loss are all but unfounded! I am thrilled to say the least. And the good news keeps coming! She suspects that Riley's hearing loss may just be due to middle ear disease which can fairly easily be addressed by her ENT! Oh happy day!

As a tired and worn down momma by some hard doctors appointments lately, I needed this one! I really needed this good news and don't take it for granted! I am SO thankful for my sweet Riley girl!

I am also SO thankful that Gama Linda came to the appointment with us! As I had some serious conversations with the doctor who was really great, Riley found the privacy curtain and giggled wildly as she rolled up in it like a human burrito. The two laughed as Riley got Gamas to roll herself up too while I handled all the boring stuff.

Then as a treat we went to ride the choo choo train with Gamas and have lunch in the park to celebrate our good news! I'd rather not mention that Riley slipped off the train before it started because she really had a great time! After such great news we all had a great time despite the cold!

Once again The Lord has really blessed us and I couldn't be more thankful!
