I was on vacation starting December 21, but it was Jeremy's last day of school. This allowed us to sleep a little later, take our time getting Jeremy ready for school. Once he was on the bus, I had my house all to myself and that never happens. I was excited to take my time getting dressed. I then was off to run errands go to my chiropractor appointment which I needed, grabbed pizza and spent the evening relaxing with Jeremy. We then spent the next 12 days pretty much the same, sleeping in, relaxing and pretty much no agenda.
We had a return trip to Columbia, Missouri to see our Amazing Super-Hero Dr. Dan for a follow-up visit. My nephew James was our traveling companion, we left early on Thursday, December 27. Our appointment was at 3:50pm. We arrived in time to visit some of our friends at the Children's Hospital, then went to our visit with Dr. Dan. We got to visit with Dr. Daniel Robertson who was our first resident, and we love him he's so awesome, compassionate and full of empathy. Then Dr. Dan came in with the new resident who is married to one of our past resident, Dr. Nelle, who was with us our 17 days in traction. Jeremy's spine is flexible, he can see the difference in the previous X-ray in brace and this past out of brace. Dr. Dan was impressed with how well J was getting around, his endurance. Once again no plans to do anything permanent, which I told Dr. Dan I was fine with that. We come back in 6 months for a re-check. I then got to meet Dr. Kuhns, who was the surgeon who assisted Dr. Dan in the surgery, and I wanted Dr. Kuhns to get to see Jeremy to see how well he was doing. Jeremy walked in the walker up and down the hallways.
We then went to the Columbia Mall, walked around and did some shopping. We went back up to the hospital to catch Nurse Michelle, whom we haven't seen since Jeremy was discharged and she was our night nurse out on the floor and really loved Jeremy and we loved her.
We met up with our friends in Osage Beach for lunch and enjoyed time with them. We arrived home at 6pm and was ready for home.
It was a nice 12 day vacation, I enjoyed the relaxation and the no agenda, no rushing around just whatever, whenever.....
