Jaxson had three doctor appointments on Tuesday. We went back to Johns Hopkins for a follow up with Dr. Tunkel about the ear tubes and a hearing test. Since we were already going to the hospital I decided to make an appointment with the ortho doctor for Jaxson’s checkup so we finally got to meet Dr. Ain.
All of the appointments went very well and we were very pleased. Dr. Tunkel is happy with the placement of the tubes and the hearing test showed improvement in Jaxson’s hearing so it looks like the tubes are doing their job! YEAH!!!
Dr. Ain was also very nice. We didn’t really spend a whole lot of time with him since Jax is doing so well and we didn’t have many questions. He watched him walk around the room a little, checked his back and his hips. Now we only need to see him once a year!!!!
We have one more appointment coming up with Dr. Hoover-Fong in a couple of weeks to go over Jaxson’s overall care for his achondroplasia. After that we shouldn’t have any more appointments for at least 6 months! God, that will be so nice. It’s great living so close to these absolutely amazing hospitals, but I’ll be happy to not have to make that drive for a little while.
Glad to hear the appointments went well and that everything's looking good for Jax!
ReplyDeleteYay for good appointments!!! Only every 6 months is a dream! Glad to hear things are going good!
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear that Jaxson's appointments went well! That is great that after seeing Dr. Hoover-Fong in a few weeks that you won't have to go back for at least 6 months! We're almost to that point, but like you said, we're fortunate we don't have to drive too far to an amazing hospital!
ReplyDeleteI wish I would have known - we were at Hopkins on Tuesday too! Trace had a follow-up with Dr. Ain! Glad everything is going well for Mr. Jaxson!
ReplyDeleteYes it felt awesome when I stopped seeing the genticist altogether and now only once a year with Dr. Ain. Here's to a great appointment with Dr. Hoover-Fong.
ReplyDeletePaula ... you are correct, you guys are lucky to live so close to great doctors! But yes, it is so nice to only have to go once a year! :0)
