Please note that before I start talking about myself that it is absolutely acceptable to laugh at my expense. Everyone who has heard my story showed a mixture of emotions - sympathy, disbelief and amusement. It was very windy and raining when I arrived at my work parking lot on Monday morning. I put on my hood and popped my back door to get my umbrella from the back of my SUV. You can imagine, I'm walking with my head down trying to save my beautifully straightened hair and BAM! I run smack into the raised rear door of my vehicle. The concussion is an actual diagnosis as I work less than 100 yards from the UNC athletic training room (great job perk). I will run a very wide clearance of the rear car door in the future. Lesson learned.
The second half of this post is about Willa's allergy testing. Thankfully, my neighbor Larry was willing to assist me with transportation since a person should not drive post concussion. HUGE thanks is due. The doctors tested Willa for an egg and milk allergy after hearing the multiple occurrences of a rash after consuming eggs. The testing was done via skin pricks and both came back seemingly okay. Well, because of Willa's medical history, one test is never enough. The doctors also wanted to get blood work taken. We will get those results back in the next day or so but it looks like Willa is fine. I'm fairly certain I was told we can continue to give Willa items with baked eggs but I don't have a recollection of what they said about low heat eggs. I blame my concussion for lack of focus and memory.
Thursday is Willa's second NICU follow-up visit. I'm expecting to see 6-8 different specialists with everyone asking the same questions while testing Willa's milestones.
I just have to throw in a picture to add some cuteness to this wall of text. Willa is constantly getting in and out of her chair. Also, I think this hooded outfit makes her look like the boy from the book Where the Wild Things Are.
