GOOD NEWS
Mighty Max (Mike and Jens newest little boy) is doing excellent! Still in the hospital but doing better. He's out of his little incubator and in his own crib and he's breathing on his own, but they are trying to get his weight up. They are still staying up in Portland!
Things are finally rolling. We have finally made some progress with my medical records, but it's been a very strong test in patience and getting people in charge to do what they are supposed. I have been waiting for over a month to receive records from Primary Childrens Hospital in Salt Lake. My dr's down here are requesting my pediatric records so that I can see a certain dr at the Mayo clinic, that specializes in Adult Congential Heart defects. He's the only in one the valley. Anyway, PCH has been giving the run around on the records. First they found me in the data base, but they couldn't find me in archives. They were supposed to expidite them they never did. Then they found them in the archives but they were in a different location in boxes that aren't filed properly. Then they told me they couldn't find them at all under my name. They had exhausted all their resources. I had to call twice a week to follow up with them and find out what was happening with them.
Well we went to the supervisor then the director, now some director is working on the case and called Carl this morning and they are sending them in a day or two! Sometimes it helps to call the bosses boss and get things done, they didn't apologize or anything for the miscommunication but they are at least sending the records.
In the meantime I'm still on O2 and staying home during the day, not much else to do. I am trying to keep myself busy with project. Oh the closet is almost done Carls still building shelves for it. He was also refinishing a little nightstand dresser.
We are moving along with Vaccination Station, we've had record setting days the last couple of weeks. We see 25-30 dogs (and a few cats) for vaccinations, in the space of about four hours. Last week we did 32! It's a lot of fun, We only do it every other Saturday. So if you need vaccinations for your dog or cat come see me! Its VERY inexpensive and no vet fees!
