Flint, Mommy, and Galen

Long Week Almost Over

As much as I hate phones (and I DO, so much so that I hate calling the doctor's for myself), I keep making calls for Galen. I set up his MRI and an Audiology appointment today. Also called to find out how to get his blood work done for the full genetics testing they wanted us to do. And still waiting to find out how to get his "feeding clinic" test done. Apparently they're figuring that out at least, since I've called twice now, and they weren't sure either (figures, right?).
They'll be sedating Galen for the MRI. They plan to try the Audiology testing without sedation and then try it again with it if they can't get what they need without it (I imagine Galen won't cooperate well, but I don't know what's involved in it either). I'm assuming that his hearing is fine since it's always been fine with the checkups they do, but then again, with all his regressions, it could be possible he's losing his hearing and that's why he's seemingly regressing (I think that's the neurologist's thoughts, anyway).
And now it's time to get myself ready for the dentist fun that's to begin in an hour. I should be just about mentally prepared by then (hopefully!).

EDIT: So Medicaid is...fun. They have misplaced Flint's dental. So Galen was seen and Flint wasn't. The lady even called Medicaid and told them she was holding the card with the proper information on it for Flint.
On the other hand, all they'd do is wipe her mouth with cloth anyway we were told.
Galen did pretty well. He was quite scared but it was over quickly (maybe 5 mins) and we go back in 3 months. Theoretically both kids will be seen that time. He has no cavities and we need to get him drinking more water (for some unclear reason), but he usually likes water, so I guess that's a plus side.
