Casually Optimistic

All I wanted for Christmas was answers to this medical cloud hanging over us and answers to the so many questions banging around in my head and in my heart. Most of all I wanted to find a doctor that would take my daughter as a whole person into account. Someone that would look at everything she has to go through right now. On Friday at San Francisco Medical I learned that I had very good questions but the answers were not all there. I did like them very much and they gave me hope. Then it was Stanford turn and I learned even more. I liked the doctor even better. He shared with me several other options I had not heard of. He looked at Annalise and everything she is going through right now and the diaries I have been keeping for the last month and he gave us a different option. In Feb everything will be reevaluated. To top it off the Doctor spoke Mandarin and Annalise sure liked that. I have decided to work with Lucille Packard Medical Center at Stanford in Palo Alto. It was like going back home I grew up in Los Altos right around the corner. They are 4 hours away from Tahoe and we will have to return every 4-6 months for testing and to be re evauated of her condition. But they are on the leading edge of Children’s medicine in so many ways and I feel very good about our new direction with them. I got what I wanted for Christmas and I now know that I am doing everything I can for my little girl. This is going to be the best Christmas ever most of all because we have each other. Thank you everyone for all your prayer and warm wishes keep them coming they're working :)
