Swallow Study Adventure

Everything about arriving to the swallow function study appointment was crazy.  Once the actual study was started, things were fine.  When I received the email regarding the appointment, the instructions were to be at the hospital registration for an 11:00am appointment.  We were running down to the wire, but we managed to make it there with a couple of minutes to spare...except that when we went to check in with registration, we found out that the appointment was actually at noon and was at the Specialty Clinics office instead of the hospital.  This ended up being for the best because grunting started coming from my daughter and then a trip to the bathroom's changing table was needed - badly!!  LOL

We then made it over to the registration desk at the Specialty Clinics Building and were then told to go to a different registration desk down on the lower level.  I finally found that one and got registered, then was sent to radiology check-in, where I was told I needed to fill out 4 sheets of paperwork.  Did I mention that I had already filled out the 3 sheets of paperwork that they had already mailed. to me?  Ugh...that kinda thing bothers me.

Then when we finally get called back, we learn that Rossleigh's speech therapist, Jennifer, had jury duty today.  So we ended up working with another therapist...

Looking back...

Sometimes it's hard to believe that Rossleigh is just 9 1/2 weeks old.  When I look back at everything that she's been through in her short little life, it just doesn't even seem real.  It feels like it was almost like a dream?  Fortunately (and unfortunately), I have pictures to remind me of how far she has come...

September 26th, 2012 (just shortly before noon) - Happiest day of my life!!  :)
First time I got to see her - about 10:00pm
the day she was born. It was a LONG day!

First family photo - taken the morning of her surgery (5 days old)
