Adrienne had an echo and saw her cardiologist this morning. Her heart is basically the same as last time she saw the doctor in March. This is good news and means that she doesn't have to start meds. No one seems to be able to explain her blue toes and sometimes blue lips, but it doesn't bother her much so we aren't going to worry for now.
Adrienne also had follow up labs and a chest xray, which were all good. So far, there are no side effects from the DLI. I thought it was funny that we received a letter from the insurance company in today's mail saying that they approved the DLI, well over a week after she had it. I don't worry about these things since the hospital won't do anything until and unless the insurance company has approved it, and sometimes the paperwork is lagging.
It's been a bit of a hassle but an adult orthopedist has agreed to see Adrienne to look at her hip. It is unclear if she has osteonecrosis or avascular necrosis, the former being less severe and slower to progress, although both conditions are degenerative. Adrienne is planning to take a swimming class at Claremont McKenna, which won't hurt anything.
I think we finally finished shopping for the things Adrienne needs for her dorm. She's been in touch with her new roommate and they've split up some of the essential items. I doubt there would be room in the car for any more "stuff" so anything else will have to wait until she gets there. Luckily, there's a Target right near CMC.
