Mason's Madness: Getting closer to growing!
http://masoncone.blogspot.com/2015/06/getting-closer-to-growing.html
Monday, June 01, 2015. Getting closer to growing! We were excited to get a phone call from the doctor's office mid-day last week. Insurance has finally approved the growth hormone injections! We are just waiting for a few more phone calls, one being the expected shipment date of the medicine, and then we can arrange for a nurse to come out and provide us with training on how to give Mason his meds! In the meantime, this comes in the mail. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A little bit closer now.

http://masoncone.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 13, 2015. Apologies in advance - not sure why the text is highlighted or how to fix it. This morning Mason had his Meatotomy surgery to fix his. Meatal stenosis occurs when the opening of the urethra, where urine exits, is too small or narrow for urine to pass. To let the urine flow freely, a small cut is made to enlarge the hole. Mason got dressed into his gown and socks - all blue! Mason asked for his phone, and said he wanted 7 hamburgers! He was given some. And then later said he only w...

Tuesday, February 17, 2015. MRI results are NORMAL! We got the email today with the results from the MRI and they are NORMAL, which is good! It means there is not a growth or tumor or anything else causing his "short stature". The next step might be the worst one yet, but luckily it doesn't involve Mason! We (well, the doctor's office! After the last stim test when we were told we might end up here, Dr. P told us that it'd be nightly in home injections! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Mason's Madness: December 2014
http://masoncone.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 29, 2014. After the suggestion of one of his doctors, Mason joined Boy Scouts of America in 2nd grade as a Bear. He's loved the boys in his Den, and this last year we had a change in our Denner and our Den decreased in size, but it's been pretty amazing watching Mason grow through this experience. Here are a few pictures over the years. He's now a Webolos, and we're loving the confidence we see in him, and the help around the house! His buddy Roman's dad was his Denner (Den Master? She w...

http://masoncone.blogspot.com/2015/06/so-long-4th-grade.html
Sunday, June 07, 2015. So Long 4th Grade! Mason is finishing out his fourth grade year, and his final year at Cibolo Green. He's been there since first grade and we've been blessed with some pretty amazing teachers and special education support staff over the years. It was during his ARD that we decided he should take the STAAR A for his state assessment - and it paid off! He PASSED the Reading! He had all A's and B's and even got the Leader in Me award for Habit #1: Be Proactive. A little bit closer now.

Tuesday, September 02, 2014. Third Grade - ends with a diagnosis! Mason meet his third grade teacher, Mrs. Clewett, as well as Ms. Riveria (his special education support/inclusion teacher) and we liked them right away.

Loved that he got to know her family as well (her hubby was student teaching at Hensley's school). Mrs Riveria Mrs. Clewett. So proud of him! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
