11.7.13 PASS

Aimee was cleared yesterday by the PASS (pre-anesthesia) and ENT clinics to have her sedated BAER (Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response) exam on Friday. Thankfully she recovered over the weekend from her sickness and was symptom free by Monday. We have kept her home from school and away from the public (aside from the hospital) this week in pseudo isolation to keep her healthy for Friday. What a relief to have her well again!

Since she has been sick so much this past year (save the summer break), we have figured out some of the patterns she follows. Her typical length of sickness is 11 days, assuming no secondary effects. Not just on average, but specifically 11 days the vast majority of the time. Since our world stops as we focus energy completely and constantly on Aimee during these times, it is helpful to know when the end is likely in sight.

Her brothers enjoy having her healthy too! Here is Caleb playing the iPad with Aimee:

  1. Hi Rosa, Does your school district offer home bound services? We do school at home for Elizabeth because I've always been afraid that the cons far outweigh the pros for Betty to go to school and be around all the germs. Betty really enjoys it and we do two 30 minute sessions a week. To keep her from exhausting. Maybe that would help Aimee to be a little healthier?

    God Bless,
    Jenny
