Cameron loved California! He was such a great traveler, we had a wonderful trip to Hermosa Beach to celebrate Josh and Debbie's wedding (congrats!!) and then we headed south to Laguna Niguel for three days of fun in the sun. Below is a video montage of the highlights of our trip. We belatedly celebrated Nana's 60th Birthday on the trip!
We are now gearing up for 4 weeks of Dr. appointments. This Tuesday will be a renal US followed by the dreaded CMG test with the catheter. The good news is we get to see Dr. Yerkes, the urologist after both tests so that we will have the results right away. Thus, no waiting game which is nice. The ideal outcome is the bladder function has improved, we'll see.
Next week Cameron will have a CT Scan, hopefully without sedation - I think he can do it without but we'll see. We're also meeting with orthotics to get him measured for something called SMO's this should help with his ankle support and such to hopefully improve his strength when standing, and eventually walking.
We wrap it all up the first week in October with a muscle test, orthopedic surgeon and Dr. Bowman, our neurosurgeon, to review the CT and discuss the overall post operative report now that we are 3 months post surgery. Oh and a hearing test just to be sure we're good there....
We'll be sure to update post Dr reports. It's less than one month from the Chicago Marathon, Dad is in the heat of training and we are all very appreciative of all the support we have received for the Hydrocephalus Association - and they are very pleased with our fundraising efforts.
I'd love to get a group together to cheer Matt on that Sunday - let me know if you're interested in heading out with Cameron and I!
We hope everyone had a safe and happy labor day.
XO
