Them thar medical types

Another question we get is what kind of doctors and other medical folk Gwen is seeing. Well, it started with about a million visits to her pediatrician while we were closely monitoring her weight and muscle development. We've seen a pediatric neurologist, genetics/metabolism specialist, pediatric GI, have a home-health nurse visit weekly, and periodic visits by physical therapy, occupational therapy (despite the fact that Gwen does not yet have a chosen occupation) and speech therapy (help develop mouth and facial strength to aid in eating). There was even an ER visit with a 2-day hospital stay for observation where we got to see about a dozen doctors and nurses. Last, and possibly least, we even have a dermatologist appointment coming up. We've had several blood draws, and cultures on urine and spinal fluid.

So, we're very familiar with our pediatrician's office and the UW Children's Hospital. Great kudos to our array of doctors, as they keep us informed without talking down to us or over our heads.
