SCHOOL’S OUT FOR SUMMER!

Yesterday was my last day of schooooool!

I got this cool diploma, even though I’m not totally done with preschool yet. I have one more year to go.

While the other kids went outside for donuts, I had the whole classroom to myself!

We all got a bucket full of cool stuff when we left. Eliwen and I hung out for a while eating our new Ring Pops.

Thank you, Ms. Tami, Ms. Chelle, Ms. Ann, and Ms. Cathy! See you in the fall!

NEW ‘DO

I’m going back to school next week, so Mommy thought it would be a good time to tame my mane. But I tried to run away before she could take a picture!

Oh, and it was my first tear-free haircut. Thanks, Dameon!

KIDNEY UPDATE

Yesterday, I had a mega day at the hospital doing tests and follow-ups. But good news!

  • Blood work showed my creatinine levels totally normal.
  • My urine test came back completely normal.
  • An ultrasound showed no dilation in my kidneys.
  • And the entry sites of my nephrostomy tubes are healing nicely.

This means I don’t have to see my nephrologist again until the summer, and never have to see my urologist again! (Assuming, of course, that I continue to keep my kidneys healthy.)

AND I PEED IN A CUP. All of the nurses gave me high fives!

(Sorry, no photo. We were running around too much for Mommy to remember to take a picture. Miracles DO happen.)

A DIAGNOSIS

After eight hours of evaluations with a Developmental Pediatrician, Speech Language Pathologist, Psychologist and Occupational Therapist, along with questionnaires from my therapists and teachers, I was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. (Or as we call it at home…Too Charming, Smart, and Handsome For My Own Good Disorder.)

THEN WE RODE ON THE TRAM!

LEGOLAB

I went with Daddy to my very first LEGOLab at the Oregon City Public Library. They bring Legos and you can make anything you want. It was super fun! I made a structure that I named, “Den.”
