The Otte's

We had our yearly appointment at the CDC clinic.

The Children's Developmental Clinic.

We see doctors, nurses, therapists, and get many many appointments over in one day.

Starting off in the waiting room playing games, what a fun way to start the day.

 Denali wanted to go along.  Isaiah was going to, but though waiting in a room just sitting there would be frustrating, and after checking with Quinn, opted to go to school instead.

Grandma came along too.

The day went well.  We changed up a couple meds, and are working on a few other changes.

The most ironic part, is that anyone that came in wanting Quinn to talk to them, was greeted with no talking.  Anyone else that did not care if she talked to them, she would talk their ear off.  Her dance teacher is the Physical Therapist there, and had a student with her.   She asked Quinn to talk to the student, so in this case Quinn did.  Suzanne asked her to tell this student what they do together, so she pulled up the page that talks about how she loves to dance.  It's on a page with about 7 other things she likes to do.  She told this student all 7 other things she likes to do.  The student leaves the room, and Quinn looks at Suzanne and says I like to dance too.  Yes!  Quinn Otte is so smart, and so naughty sometimes!  I am grateful for that spunk, as it gets her through a lot of frustrating times, but it also makes me look like a mom who says Quinn can do more then she shows.  I'm getting to the point where I am ok with that too.  It is who she is, and I am so very thankful for how smart she is, even if she only shows some of us.

 We then had our blood draw.  Quinn was tough and they got her on the first poke.

 Denali on the other hand has a hard time watching Quinn hurting!

 Then off for a bit of fun.  The hospital always is so festive!

 The girls took their gifts along to give to kids in the hospital on Christmas.  They saved up, they purchased them, and they gave them to the hospital.  It makes my heart happy!

 A picture of all of us!

How lucky we are!

 Then back to our routines, therapy in Lincoln this afternoon, and Denali had to be right in there helping Quinn push herself across the floor in the scooter.  She worked hard and it was a wonderful day!
