“This is Donna, returning your call.”
Then she read the numbers from this year’s results.
After one year of following the bone-building regimen Dr. Strauss had prescribed for Katie–increasing amounts of weight-bearing with increasing amounts of movement, IV treatments, and therapeutic amounts of vitamin D, calcium, and protein, here are Katie’s January 2013 numbers.
I could hardly get the news out to Joe before my throat closed up.
Because her body responded so well to this treatment, Dr. Strauss is recommending one more year of the same protocol to see if we can’t bring her numbers fully into a healthy range by next January.
Praise God with us!!!!
Furthermore, the timing of this report could not have been better. Nurse Donna is obligingly sending us copies of all the medical records they have for Katie. This includes both bone density reports, Katie’s blood work results over the past year, and the prescribed protocol we’ve been following for her, so it can all be sent on as requested to her former orphanage.
Sweet girl! Growing so big and so healthy!
