Things have been soooo busy! Hope had Botox on Friday. I thought we were headed to ER Friday night. Thankfully, the allergic reaction to progress to that point. She had a low grade fever, itchy feet and red blotches, not hives, just blotches. Because Botox is a toxin and is injected directly into the muscles, an allergic reaction can lead to respiratory failure and paralysis. Haven't talked to the doctor yet; I need to schedule a 6 week follow up. Up until this point, she has only received a quarter of a dose, this was about 75% of what her weight tollerates. Never a dull moment!
Because the increase was so big, she may not be able to walk for a while. We should know within the next few days. I told her Dr that her knees are knocking really bad again, he did a range of motion on her, no problems of course. My little darling is the most medically confusing kid on the planet!!
Hope is officially a princess. I broke down and bought her a full size bed so Meg could sleep with her. We settled on the Princess bedding (I refused to spend $50 on a Hannah Montana comforter!!).
We go in tomorrow to have her braces adjusted. Since they were sized during her sprained ankle, we are having some issues. Hopefully she will be back in the stander tomorrow. I think the stander is our last option of hope. Unless someone wants to buy her an inground pool. Someday I'll be able to afford it.
Tomorrow, I will be receiving a phone call letting me know when I start my part time job. I will be working for Raising Special Kids at the Disability Empowerment Center. I love the company, people and the fact that it is in such a great building. There are about 14 companies in the building that serve the disabled population.
I would love to post pictures, however, one of our foster kids broke my camera. Not sure when I will be able to get a new one. New tires are the first priority!
That's all I can think of for now. Thank you everyone for your continued support!
