Check up

I took McKall to Primary Children's on the 11th for her check up. Chandler had to give a presentation at work and couldn't come so we took Rachel Meggan with us! She seen the Rheumatologist for her leg pains and the Cardiologist for her heart murmur. It went pretty good. Back in October when the Doctors told us she may have arthritis, it worried me sick. I've always pictured McKall being a little gymnast like I was, and if she had arthritis I knew that would be really hard. The Rheumatologist, Dr. Christie Inman, said she does not have arthritis, YAHOO!!! She did say that McKall is very very small for her age, like "not even on the charts" small. She also mentioned that she may have Celiacs Disease. Which is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. She wants to talk to the Immunologist and will let us know for sure next week. She also said that McKall has psoriosis. She gets rashes behind her ears and under her arms. I was talking with Dr. Bailey, the Doctor I work for, and he has psoriosis. He told me that it's a proven fact that people who have psoriosis have higher IQ's....I believe it! McKall, make mommy and daddy lots of money K!!!! LOL!
They also did a CT scan on her cause her lymph nodes and sinuses were swollen. The scan showed a big huge thing of infection and one of her nostrals was almost completely closed. She said McKall has had the infection for a long time. Call me a bad mom but I seriously had no clue and she hasn't complained of anything in her head hurting since she had the headaches in October. Antibiotics and nasal spray is what we'll be doing for a while to get rid of it though.
The Cardiologist said that everything looked good with the echo. She just has what they called an "innocent murmur." Also that she has a "venous hum" in the artory in her neck. Both of these being very normal and she should grow out of it. YAY YAY and YAY!!!
In the end we are so thankful that this has all turned out to be nothing serious. We will get to the bottom of all this and get our little gal better soon! What a long day it was and a big THANKS to Rachel Meggan and to all my amazing family and friends for the help and support you have given us! I dont know what we would do without you! :)
This is us "patiently waiting" in the jeep between appointments!!!
