Yesterday was Cole's birthday, so we had a very fun and relaxed day. We rode the "ferry boat" across the river and munched on Cafe du Monde, then walked with the kiddos through the French Market. Kim and Calvin got Cole his crawfish (for his birthday) and that made his day complete! Reilly got cake, and some butter - but that's another story, and that satisfied her.
Today, we are in the process of getting a referral and all the business ready to get a second opinion from Dr. Karpen at Texas Children's Hospital Liver Center. When I tell you that it is absolutely amazing that anything gets done in a time efficient manner in the medical field, I really mean it. The hoops that you have to jump through to get the paperwork complete just for the physicians, and that doesn't include getting a doctor approved by your insurance, is INSANE!!! I am thankful that Dr. Noel's nurse has taken charge and is running around with scissors cutting the tape. In one single day, she has almost completed everything. And, she has kept me completely updated on what she has done and what exactly is going on. What a rockstar!
Reilly is feeling okay. Right now she is running a very low temperature and is pretty tired, so she is resting. She remains in good spirits and if asked, she feels fine. We are again hoping for a very uneventful week and a half until we go back for another scope and possible banding. Keep your fingers crossed.
