Overwhelmed

I am humbled and overwhelmed by the outpouring of support, love and information we have received in such a short time.  The blog has almost reached 650 views!  So many more brains are working on this problem and I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to read and post.  To think that in everyone's incredibly hectic busy lives, time was put aside for a little girl that most of you have never even met, thank you, thank you THANK YOU!

As I said, we have received so many tips, advice, links and information.  I will be spending today doing more research and compiling a list of items to take up with her pediatrician.

On the good news front, I used my charm and determination to get her an appointment at McMaster with the Hematology department.  They are the doctors that look after her older brother who has an un-named bleeding disorder caused by the platelets not being sticky enough - therefore causing an extended bleeding time, easy and bigger bruising and weak clots that can easily break away.

Anyway, I practically begged them to see her and they agreed.  She will be at McMaster bright and early on Wednesday.  If all goes well, and my husband is insistent and charming enough, maybe we can cut through some red tape and find a back door to the neurology department.

Keep you fingers crossed and the information coming!
