Doctor's visit

Happy Birthday, Mandy Jie,  Well, we went to the Doctor today and Mandy had a busy day.  Dr. Schwarzwald, the head of the International Adoption Dept. of Texas Children Hosptial saw Mandy and examined her.  She thinks Mandy may have/had Rickets which is a Vitamin D deficiency.  Mandy received two shots that they don’t give in China and a TB skin test.  We also found that Mandy has a heart murmur and so she had an EKG and chest xray, xrays of her hip, and lots of blood drawn.  The Doctor said she wanted the results today and so we will await her call.  She thinks she has hip dysplasia (sp?) and I need to look that up and do some research.

 

I will let you know what the Doctors said.  Have a great day.
