Things started getting normal again. I was able to get a part time job, start back up with my classes and for Rebecca's 2nd birthday we took her to Disney for the first time!
And she got sick...really sick. But we figured she just picked up a weird bug at Disney.
One time we took her to chuck e cheese and she got sick....really sick...like pneumonia sick.
Skip forward a bit...September 17, 2005 josh and I finally got married! We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon and rebecca went to Disney with my parents.
She got sick again...really sick again
Now we are realizing her immune system must still be compromised. So we limited her visits to places where sick kids may be.
In 2008 she got sick again. This time she was so dehydrated she ended up staying in the hospital for 5 days. The doctors had given her antibiotics and she wasn't getting better. So they started doing all sorts of tests to try and figure it out. After her chest X-ray the nurse said, "nothing showed up besides the scoliosis".
Wait what?!? What scoliosis? The nurse then said "oh you didn't know about that"?
How is it that we've had 10+ chest X-rays over the past several years and they never told us about her scoliosis?
So once she was released from the hospital we made an apt with a pediatric orthopedic doctor.
I felt like the roller coaster was almost over, but as we approached the platform someone came over the loud speaker and said "The ride's not over, stay seated, don't take your seatbelt off, keep your arms and legs inside the car. We're going around again"
