Brennyn had another appointment at Sick Kids today. One of the volunteers gave Brennyn a pretty necklace with her name on it. It's to collect bravery beads, you get a bead for every surgery, needle, physio appt., cast removal, etc. I think Brennyn is owed a few beads (like 10) but she has a lot of time to collect some new beads! She was so very happy to get this necklace, once again, I am so impressed with this hospital!
They really do treat these children with the respect they deserve, they don't talk down to them and they explain everything that is being done. Brennyn loves her physiotherapist and so do we!
We have to go back to Sick Kids on Thursday, twice in one week. At least we only live an hour away!! This time it's to see the heart specialist, just as a precaution. One person who has Brennyn's syndrome also had some sort of heart issue, so they just want to do some testing to rule any heart problems out. It is very unlikely that Brennyn has any heart issues!
Brennyn was such a trooper, she always is. I'm sure I wouldn't like all these people coming in and asking to see my hands all the time, but she just does what they ask (most of the time, she is only 4 afterall). She even said (after the physio had to massage her scar and mold a splint to her hand) "I did not cry mommy, I just looked like this (meaning she just looked straight ahead)". You could tell that her hand was hurting her a bit too.
