Well, it hit over 100 today, and of course our air conditioner died. We had a tech out last week and he has a new fan on order, but knowing how these places operate, it could be winter by the time it 'arrives'. It's a zillion degrees inside and I'm roasting.
Ozron did send some of his storm up our way today, but not nearly enough. Still, I thought of his elegant prose when I stepped out into the rain today- I could definitely relate to how he felt as he was writing it.
Tori's doc called me at work yesterday, and was impressed when I told her I'd already made appts at the Scoliosis center and the dermatologists. (She said normally it takes forever to get into a dermatologist in the summer). The derm appointment was to look at a lesion Tori has on her arm, just to make sure it's nothing to be concerned about. (She has excema). Anyway, she said her x-ray shows a moderate curve, but she seemed happy to have caught it at this point rather than later. Today we got the paperwork for the Shriner's Hospital; her doc wants us to apply there, as they have the best pediatric spine docs in the biz. She then encouraged us to have the genetic testing done, so I am reluctantly doing so. I really have mixed feelings about this- I don't know why, but I do. Still, we need to know.
I have a feeling she may be in for a tough adolescence, but she's going to emerge an absolute swan, both physically and mentally. I look around at other kids her age and I am sooooo glad she is my kid- she has a great attitude, she's not afraid to talk to me about anything, and she has a very caring, empathetic soul. I just wish she wouldn't tell people I snore.:rolleyes:
(She does, too).
