Dr. Wang

Hey Friends, We made it back from UVA pretty late. We were all pretty tired from riding in a small car and sitting a lot in waiting rooms. Jessi was pretty much out of it or asleep the entire day. The only thing that happened was the doctor and his nurse took a lot of history notes and flipped through her medical records and viewed a CD of her CAT SCAN (is that spelled correctly?) Basically how he summed it up was, the Roanoke doctors had already performed the basic or obvious and easiest tests. Now Dr. Wang wants to dig a bit deeper. He drew blood and collected a urine sample for tests he said he will evaluate with other specialists. We go back on April 7 for a barium type test of her upper bowel. Shhheeewww, the best part of hospital waiting rooms is catching up on your reading. Next visit I'll be taking the book I bought from Alyson Stanfield - "I'd rather be in the Studio". Apparently this is going to be a long drawn out process, because Dr Wang doesn't have "A Magic Bullet"!!
Happy Trails

SURGERY - SUNDAY AM

WELL, my baby girl is miffed at me! She thinks I'm weird and crazy for posting her picture from the hospital on my blog. Maybe it is weird but I wanted my friends to know what is going on in my little life. Soooo, anyway, the doc's have sorta decided that maybe-MAYBE-the problem is her gall bladder. Sooo, they have decided to take Jessi's advice and pull the thing out in the morning! We all hope and pray that fixes the problem for the TURTLE.
I'll keep you posted. Maybe I'll get some new photo's too.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Just a little bit late! Better late than sorry. Too many things going on last couple of weeks. I had 5 small commissions to finish before Christmas. And a couple had to be mailed to far places. I will post some photos later. Right now I need to clean up and go to Roanoke Memorial Hosp. to visit my youngest daughter. She has been to the ER several times this winter for undiagnosed problems in her digestive track. This time her father, Charlie Ridgway, would not let them (the staff) release her! He made them admit her. Who knows maybe some one will figure it out this time. I wish they would call in HOUSE! then she could get on with her life. This is going to be a serious day.

WISH MY BABY LUCK AND MAY YOU HAVE A PRODUCTIVE, PROSPEROUS, INSPIRING YEAR IN 2009!!!
