His ER doctor put together the (almost) severed left thumb tip well but he wrapped it too tight. Gangrene set in and we were scared of losing the thumb. Thank God his thumb is OK. <br /><br />Nathan's incident can never compare to what Ada has gone and been going through. It just reminds me that accidents can happen any time.<br /><br />Be safe and may you have peace everyday.angkanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05225948149911223668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517086753218531112.post-28017110825870193602011-08-14T07:17:35.742-07:002011-08-14T07:17:35.742-07:00Hi Ponsawani, I have not been around much.

I know it is not easy. Much Love, Elaina.aka.

Maybe in the letter to SV you could ask for an appointment with a physiatrist who would be willing to prescribe just that? and maybe help in getting insurance to pay? 3 hours a day, (OT, PT, and speech), for 2-3 days a week would make a world of difference for you and for her. Wouldn't hurt to ask anyway, and maybe would help?<br /><br />I am glad all went well with her wisdom teeth and her toenails, and coincidence(?) Trent's toenail on his most affected side had to be fixed too! The first doctor actually took the whole nail, and when it grew back in-grown(?)again, I took him to a regular podiatrist who just took each side and deadened nerves there to fix it.<br /><br />All the best to you both!<br />SharonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517086753218531112.post-35970274125184419792011-07-14T06:38:02.122-07:002011-07-14T06:38:02.122-07:00Fantastic, Ponsawani!

I agree that it would be good to write two letters. One to SV thanking them for their high quality services and understanding and one to MH.<br /><br />Did you check with SV about ordering therapy? I keep thinking that if Ada is given more therapy she will progress faster.<br /><br />Take care.

What a difference in caring and compassion!! ...wow! What a difference in caring and compassion!! Sure wish you could change hospitals...maybe some letters would help, never know...And maybe some glowing letters to SV for the huge difference...whether it changes things or not towards Methodist H, I'm sure it would make SV even better :)Mary Lamorayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07408540765502453927noreply@blogger.com
