Today's PT session was a challenging one. Mia would barely let Mary touch her arm. She did allow her to put some heat on it, but when it came to massaging it and stretching it, Mia would not let Mary go near it. The session went by fast today, which was a good thing. When we left the house to go to PT, Mia cried the entire way there, begging me to not take her today. I almost didn't.
I spoke with Dr. Lopez today. He agreed with Dr. Natter that I should start looking for the steroid again because he said she will need to have her elbow drained and injected. So, after we take Mia in to see Dr. Lopez next Tuesday, he wants her to also be seen by the pediatric orthopedist to have him/her take a look her elbow and determine when the procedure should be done.
With that said, does anyone out there know where I can find a steroid (Triamcinolone Hexacetonide - Aristospan) that the manufacturer has stopped making?? Emails and comments welcome!
Changa - my prayers are with you - I had no idea the intense ordeal Mia is going through. I contacted my uncle who is a doctor and also a friend in Puerto Rico who is a pharmacist. I'll keep you posted.
ReplyDeleteI also have a friend in Honduras who is a pharmacist (have not spoken to her in a while , so let's leave that as a last resort - ) plz keep me posted -
Pax and I prayed for Mia's healing.
Love you.
