Good report from the Urologist

Last week Daddy took me to see the Urologist to see if things have changed with my 1-kidney - I was born with some swelling in 1 of my kidneys so I get an ultrasound every 3-months to monitor change over time. The technical term is hydronephrosis. Here is a picture that Daddy took of me in the office while we were waiting for the doctor to come in.

For the past 2-years, the status has remained the same - no change... but Dr. Packer was thrilled with the recent results of my test. He said he saw a big improvement and feels very good that my body is fixing the problem by itself. He told me the results were so good that he would see me in 1-year!

Dr. Packer was also impressed at my toughness (he saw my cast) that he walked me around the office so I could show everyone my cast!

My Mom and Dad were so happy with the results!

I am now a Big Girl at 2 and I am a bruiser!

From 2010_11_20 Sam's 2nd Birthday Party

I know my post is late, but better late than never. I turned 2 last week and it was an exciting week. We celebrated my birthday 2x a week ago... once on Saturday with my family and friends...and again on my actual birthday on November 24th! I am so thankful for all of the nice gifts that everyone gave me - and I am "In Love with ELMO".

We celebrated Thanksgiving 2x as well this year. Once with the Pifani Family at Aunt LaLa and Uncle JJ's house...and again down the shore house with the Trasatti Family. We had turkey, ham, and all the fixings!

And on Saturday afternoon, I decided I wanted no parts of the pack n play or crib any more. I climbed out of the pack n play at the shore house and broke my arm (radius and ulna). Mom and Dad took me to the Cape May ER and they gave me an X-Ray and splinted my arm. When the x-ray technician said only 1 more picture - I said cheese! Mom and Dad thought that was soo very cute.

When we got home, Dad took me to CHOP and they put a hard cast on my arm. I even got to pick the color - I chose PURPLE! Just because I have a broken arm - that won't stop me from running around and having a good time!
