Wow! What a hectic week! Both of my girlies came down with RSV! Here I thought we were going to make it through the winter without any major sicknesses (well besides me). My youngest even had to go to the Emergency Room on Saturday night because her wheezing got so bad. She's on Albuterol treatments now and slowly getting better. Thank God they both got sick last week and not this week! I don't know how I would have forced myself to get on a plane Sunday, if I had taken my baby to the ER the night before. Ugh! Everything worked out!
So now I'm busy packing and planning for my Mayo Clinic trip. We fly out this Sunday! I've spent the last couple of months impatiently waiting for this appointment and here it is! By the way, I've made a little discovery. Mayo Clinic has a patient app for iPhones and iPads and it is simply terrific! I've downloaded it and it has everything. My appointments are programmed in, with the options to add reminders to my phone. All of my doctors notes and lab reports are also listed in the program. I'm told that when I get to Mayo, I'll be able to check this app after my appointments and get instant test results (even before I've followed-up with the doctor). What an amazing world we live in! So, if you're going to Mayo Clinic or have been there in the past, I would download this app. Just go to the app store and search for Mayo Clinic. You will need to make a patient account. If you don't have an iPhone or iPad, you can still create a patient account at the Mayo Clinic website and I highly recommend you do! There is nothing better than instant test results and doctor's notes!
The packing portion of my week includes many, many lists! I don't trust my terrible memory for anything! I'm lucky I still know my own name! So I have lists. Lists of things for appointments, lists of everyday necessities, lists of symptoms, lists of weird medical issues I've had. I have lists coming out my ears! I'll probably still forget something! Did I mention we had a blizzard here yesterday? Bring on the sunshine! Arizona, I'll see you soon!
