Welcome to Julia's Site!

This blog is made available for several reasons. First and foremost, to keep those that know Julia current with what is going on with her and her progress. It is also my intention to educate those who do not know Julia about what happened to her, so they can make educated decisions about their own children. I want to welcome those of you with questions about her disease, treatments, and just the general life (the good and the bad) of living with a brain damaged child. Finally, it is a therapeutic release for me, Julia's mom, Susan. I love writing and need to get some of this stuff out of my head and onto "paper". Thank you!

Guess who's coming to visit?

My New pediatrician is just amazing. I took Julia in yesterday due to her being so "bipolar" after hours. He is in is "senior" years of practice, but still insists on taking calls. My helper, Trina, went with me, one - for moral support, and two - to tell him I really wasn't crazy about what I was seeing in her changing behavior, as she is here at least once or twice weekly, and last night she was ready to WALK.

Anyway, I got a call on my cell tonight around 7pm - thought it was the pizza guy, lost, so answered it, and it was my ped - calling again from his cell. He told me he has some of his rehabilitation classes in the springs tomorrow morning, but WANTS to come to the house on wednesday night, and watch Julia, by himself - with no distractions from family, to see what he can see and what he thinks is going on with her. No charge. No nothing. He just wants to do what he can to help. He even offered to bring Otter Pops - Julia's favorite thing ever! WOW. Can you imagine? I can tell you that I personally would not have the time to do this for any of my clients. What a guy. He has been practicing in Castle Rock for many many years and has the best reputation around - and now I know WHY!!!! Of course, Julia will likely be a perfect angel on Wednesday - as a change in scenery or people sometimes calms her down, but, even if he can witness ONE tantrum - maybe he can help.

I am so happy to have found this Doctor. What a great guy.

Will let you all know how it goes! Jack, Shawn and I plan on going to Toy Story 3 that night.....should be fun.

  1. Wow! This is amazing! I hope it brings you some answers - and man, to have that offer is really, really cool - I hope he knows how much this means to some of us parents - to have someone walk in our shoes, even for a little while! Good luck!
