Lots of appointments and travel...

This Friday is Kory's meeting at school to discuss the results of his testing for the gifted program. I am curious, but no matter what the testing showed, I know for myself that he is very intelligent...also very 13 and very mouthy... He's been accepted into a private school for next year rather than our local public school system. I did not like the sound of the gifted program in the public school as there was no focus on math at all, just a pull-out class focused on language arts. And no way do I want him in our local public high school in a few years. We are very, very disappointed in the high school.
Next week is our appointment with Doctor Ivy in Denver, Mattea's pulmonary hypertension doctor. I am anxious to meet him, and I am hoping for a good outcome. She's doing wonderful on the low dose of Viagra that he recommended and that the docs here ultimately claim credit for (grrr...). Also, the same day we leave, we have an appointment at the school to finally start moving on her placement. They are going to hopefully set her up for summer school. I think she is very ready to start now.
Then the following week, Kory has an appointment at Shriner's in Salt Lake for his legs. His prosthetics are ready to fall apart and plus we noticed that the leg he had surgery on looks all out of whack. He originally had the surgery because his (partial) tibia was not seated in the knee joint but joined to the outside of the knee. The orthopedic surgeon moved it into place about 2 years ago. Well, now it looks like it is angled to the inside of his knee joint instead, the opposite of what he was born with. Almost like it came back out of alignment in the opposite direction. His posture and gait are horrible. I am afraid of what it is doing to his hips. So hopefully they will be able to help him with that.
In the next few weeks, Mattea also has a genetics appointment, a sleep study, and an ABR hearing test, and I am sure there are more appointments that I am forgetting about. Her ophthalmology appointment is in July, I think...goodness we are going to be busy this summer!!! (And I still have to schedule dental check-ups for all the kids and an eye appointment for me, Mom.)
