April 5th
A month has passed since my surgery and I have a check up with Dra. Jimenez. She wants to make sure my incisions are healing well and also to see if I get the green light to go horseback riding and swimming! My mom and dad sent Maria Jose to a course in San Jose on horse therapy. She was trained out at a ranch outside of San Jose where they teach therapists how to ride with Special Needs kids like me. She is really excited to try out what she has learned with me! I am excited as well, as I have never been on a horse before but I think I am going to like it. My mom says it is in my blood as she rode horses when she was a young girl.
The appointment went great we also changed my gtube in her office so I have a new one and Dr.Jimenez was very impressed how I was healing. I have also gained weight as well. She told me I was ready for more activities and that I am good to go! We are all very happy! The following day I had my six month check up with Dr. Luna, my neurologist. It was time for an evaluation. As I had mentioned before my seizures have come back and we are contemplating right now changes in my medications and raising my dosage on what I am currently taking for the seizures. The appointment went well and for now we will try raising different meds to see if that helps.
On our way back to Delicias we swung by CIMA and did some lab work to see how my Hemoglobin and Valporic levels were doing. This was the quickest trip we have ever made to San Jose! We were in and out in two days! Yeah we are headed home!!!
