Finley visited the Texas Children's Hospital yesterday for X-rays on her hip to try and figure out what is causing her limp. She did fantastically with the X-Ray technician, who taught her a new word, "princess". Finley pointed out all the princesses on the wall of the X-Ray room. It was so cute.
Finley did great in the waiting room and really enjoyed watching the water bubblers. She kept calling them candles, which I can see why she thought that.
Thankfully, the X-Rays were normal, but that means we still don't know what is causing her limp. This morning she woke up saying "Leg hurt", which broke my heart. Our pediatrician had let us know last night that she thought a visit to Orthopedics would be the next best step to take. I called into Texas Children's this morning and the next available appointment was for January 19, 2011. So frustrating. I left a message with our pediatrician asking for any other referrals and decided to call Texas Children's again. I got a much nicer and more helpful person on the phone and they got Finley an appointment for September 23rd, still nearly a month away, but much better than January of next year. The appointment will happen before we set off for Disneyworld, so that is a relief.
