We got to Minneapolis on Tuesday. We found our hotel and went for a long swim. After that we went for supper in the hotel and played at the arcade! We had a lot of fun and released a lot of built up energy before bed time! When we got up on Wednesday we hurried up and got ready to find the hospital. We located the Shriner hospital but thought we should find the Children's hospital too. After finding them both we headed back to the Shriner hospital and checked in. They got Pie Pie back for x-rays right away! We finished up the first set of x-rays and they made me a CD while Pie got to pick a prize for being so good. She picked a bag of make-up but she didn't have anytime to look at it since they needed to do a few more x rays of her hips. They sent us to the another area to have her height, weight and blood pressure done. The lady there was really nice and helped us to find the next lady that took poor Pie to the lab to get her blood drawn.. She was scared and really didn't want it done but she did a great job! Pie even got a new art box out of the blood work!
We went for a quick lunch break and let the kids play at the park and then up in the game room at the Shriner's. They had a lot of fun and Pie even had a good time!
She wasn't very happy to have to go met with the doctors again but she did a great job letting them test her walking and ROM. She seems to have good ROM and only a little weakness in her muscles. That is why her knees knock together to bad. The Doctors aren't sure what Pie has but still think it would be best if we treat it like Perthes until we know exactly what we are dealing with. They suggested we still see the Genetics people the next day and that we check back in with them next time they come to Bismarck or if they need to see us sooner Minneapolis again. After that nearly 5 hour appointment, we left feeling hopeful about what Pie might have but still a little worried.
We decided to help our minds get off the appointments by going to the Mall of America! We went shopping, got some really yummy chocolates, did a build a bear, and went through the Mirror Maze! The Mirror Maze is really neat, kind of scary and mildly nauseating!
We also got another stuffed animal to add to the over sized animal hoard in Pie's room! But all in all we had a great time! We finished the night off by having my neice spend the night at the hotel with us!
