A friend who has a special needs daughter told me quite some time ago that it’s a good idea to keep all a kid’s info and medical history, etc., in a notebook so you can easily find everything and all the important info for the doctors. I tried it in September but didn’t get far. I realized last week, though, that I am already getting fuzzy about dates. The last time I was asked when K was removed from oxygen completely and then when she had the last ultrasound of her brain… my mind failed me. So tonight I’ve sat for the last hour and a half, going through my old entries here and even photos to see when this or that happened and to get it into a notebook. Because, apparently, just as I think things might really be coming to an end, that this story might be written for the most part, I’m told I need to start getting her some physical therapy and that she’ll need to see a neurologist in March.

It’s really been a ride to go through these entries, not even a year later yet. It’s amazing how fast time has flown. Where did it all go? I can’t believe 2009 went so fast. And really, my heart melts when I look at those pictures of K from April and May… how did I get so lucky that she would go from this:

Without the eye patches

To this:

In only a few short months?

But, again, apparently the war isn’t over yet. We’ll see next month (hopefully) if she needs kidney surgery and in March, hopefully the neurologist will tell us she’s just fine. We shall see what we shall see… But in the meantime, I’m not worried, I know things will be fine.

Though, I also wish I posted here more. Obviously, there are times I need those entries to remind me of things. :P
