After a decent morning (the first full day of summer vacation and there was only minimal sibling bickering), a new respite person came over and we LOVED her!!! So excited we are back to having a main respite person and a back up - sweet!!
Baby and I then loaded up, drove to Grandma's house, hung out for about 40 minutes, gave the little guy a bottle and played then we were off to her Pulmonologist's office. She weighed in at 88 pounds. Shane (almost 12) is skinny and 90 pounds. Crazy.
Between the COPD and the severe osteoporosis w/curvature, her lungs are compressed which is affecting her breathing. He ordered a chest xray and renewed her prescription for breathing medications and inhalers. Then we hopped in the car and drove 30 seconds to a different building to have a chest xray done. I was helping Baby stand when he started tooting and Grandma told him to stop being embarassing. ;) Then she (loudly) asked me what his dad is (regarding nationality) to which I responded with I don't know. Since there was a couple sitting very close, I thought it would be best to clarify that biomom told the social workers that biodad is african american but there's never been a paternity test so we don't know for sure. ;) As I was driving out of the parking lot Grandma thought it was a good idea to get milkshakes. I thought perfect - she can start to put more weight on. But alas, we arrived back to her house and what happened to her drink? She shared it with her poodle. Yeah, so much for packing on the pounds!
