I went back to the doctor yesterday, and got another cortizon shot. My foot wasn't and still isn't happy. If this shot doesn't work before I go back in on the 1st then I will be having foot surgery, to remove that portion of the nerve. As it is at the very tip of my foot, the only part that will be affected is in between my two toes. I told the doctor that I am not one to put off surgery if it is the best option, so if the nerve hasn't gotten better in the next two weeks, then out it comes.
It is a good thing that I am planning on having all my Christmas shopping for family done by the 5th as I have to ship it, and Mike knows what to get the boys from us.

Our Brave Boy
So Mat had his annual check-up for his kidney today. Because we have been seeing the surgeon and not just the pediatrician he ordered the complete round of tests. Mat wasn't very happy about it, however they needed to see exactly how his body is working. He was so brave, he had an ultra sound that he was utterly fascinated by, and then the big test, the one where they insert a cathader and watch his bladder, this one hurts like HELL, and he lost it as soon as he saw the room. However this time the nurses numbed the entry hole so he didn't feel it. Also the doctor has a son the same age as Mat and so she knew how to treat him. This time it wasn't as tramatic for him.
Can I just say that from the time we started this whole thing till today the technology has improved so much. We were able to see every part of his body today in the test. It was so clear that the one thing we didn't want to see we saw.
We watched as the urine washed back up into his kidney. We were so hoping that he had out grown this, however he hasn't. So what does all this mean? It means that some time in the next couple of months, probably December Mat is going to be having major surgery.
He will be in the hosptial for at least 7 days, and then be out of school for at least 3 weeks. So after all of this I can see why my license had issues, why it had delays. Because I am needed at home. I guess Heavenly Father knows what he is doing. As much as I want to teach and keep my job, I am needed at home with my other job that of Mom.
