Day of Doctor Appointments

So today we had two doctor appointments for Kennedy.  First we had to meet with Dr. Angela House to discuss her blood results.  We found out that Kennedy is really allergic to soy!  This is great because for the last two weeks we have discontinued dairy and switched to soy!    She also has a significant reaction to flax seed and cantaloupe.  She also had a small reaction to corn and buckwheat.  The foods that she has a very low (VL) reaction to she should only have every 4 days.  This is all so much.  Now I am going to have to re introduce dairy and stop all soy.  Soy is in everything!  WHY!!!!!!

Her vitamin D tested also a little on the low side so we have added some extra to her daily dose of pills.

Our next appointment was with Dr. Jason Robison at Intermountain Orthopaedic.  He was amazed at how well Kennedy had broken her arm.  It is 20% displaced and he is unable to cast it because of the location.  We will continue to wear the sling for 4 weeks.  At that time we will go back for new x-rays to see how she is healing.  If that is looking good then it will be 2 more weeks in the sling.  If not he will have to pin the bone.  His concern is that Kennedy has a high pain tolerance and is not really affected  by this break.  We are going to try to bandage the arm down in the sling to keep her from using it.  It may be a long month.
