The First Week of Summer - honestly

I can't believe it's been almost a week since school ended. This first week is flying by! I love being home. (although I haven't been home much, ha!) I love being with my girls. But I do miss the greatest class I've ever had. 

I am so behind on this blog of mine. I've got pictures on my phone, pictures on camera chips. My plan is to slowly work through the memories bit by bit but also stay current. So here is a post from this week. I'll dig into what I'm behind on slowly. Man! The last two months of school took every ounce of me. 



I thought I was really smart and booked a TON of doctor appointments for this first week of summer and a bunch in the last week of August at the end of summer. I didn't like how last summer they are almost every single week all summer long (sometimes 2 per week all summer long) I have to get every annual dr appointment for me in the summer and of course Anna. But Abigail sees so many specialist that her appointments filled each day this week. What I thought was a good idea turned out to be not so good. I want to remember for next year to maybe have a bunch this first week but also spread some out because boy did they leave me emotional and exhausted. 

Here are just a couple I want to remember: 

She saw Dr. Dunbar, her endocrinologist. This amazing doctor is monitoring really everything overall growing wise. She has been with Abigail since the beginning of growing concerns and has her on growth hormone replacement therapy (shots). 


This doctor is not close by and so we stopped at an allergy free bakery that she loves on our way home. 


Today she visited Dr. Lee for scoliosis. Here she is outside the building on the way in. She's holding in that big bag her brace that she sleeps with each night. 


She sure looks like a high schooler in those pictures to me! I'm so grateful for amazing doctors and expert medical care nearby.
