These People are Really Freaking Me Out

On Wednesday, I took Lauren to her PT evaluation. Didn't go so well. I guess in the back of my mind I was just hoping that they would say "she just clumsy". Yeah, that didn't happen. From the very beginning she saw something wrong. She started with just having Lauren walk back and forth. After the third time down, she asked me when I had the Neurology appointment scheduled. When I told her late July, she told me to move it up. SCARY. That was all she said. Had me freaking out. Of course, it was all on the inside. Didn't want to freak Lauren out. She then kept asking Lauren if her hips or knees ever hurt. Lauren kept saying no. She then check her balance and put her on the table and check things. Then she had her walk some more. At one point Lauren tripped and then the next time she walked right into a piece of equipment. The woman then asked when I last checked her vision. I laughed and said that her glasses were only a couple of months old. It had been one of my thoughts too. She looked at me and said, "but she just walked into it like she never saw it". YEAH. In the end she wanted Lauren to be evaluated by a Orthopedist right away. She also wanted me to try to move up the Neurology appointment. Good luck on that. I make those appointment 6 months in advance. He schedules 3 months out. She thinks something is wrong with her hips. Said that her gant was wrong for her age. Sounds like Lauren is in for X-rays and maybe more. For the last two days I have been trying to get her a Ortho appointment. Thought it would be easy. The problem is her old Ortho guy is now only seeing back patients. The receptionist said he wouldn't make an exception because it been too long since she's seen him. I called two others, but they can't see her till late August. I finally got a list of names from the insurance company that work out of a local children's hospital. The Neurologist said they all were good. Going to try to call on Monday and see what happens. As always, I will let you know.
