Madi's date also started with medical appointments. We left pretty early and went to the hospital.
She had to have a chest X-ray and do an EKG.
We waited around a lot.
It was weird to watch my little girl (I know, I know, she is thirteen. She is still my little girl!) get an X ray like this.
It came back normal, thank goodness.
Then we had to go for her EKG. The tech looked so young. He didn't seem too much older than her. He was very nice and soft- spoken, and it turned out that he had been home-schooled too.
Thankfully, this came back normal too. The doctor did call later as we were shopping to tell us about both tests. She also let us know that Madi's vitamin D was extremely low and that it looked like she might have hypothyroidism. However, a few days later the pediatric endocrinologist refused the referral saying that while she was low, she was still normal. So we are going to focus on the vitamin D and see what bloodwork tells us in two months. She may still have to go for a few more cardiac appointments if symptoms don't go away, but for now we are thankful that she seems okay.
After the hospital visits were out of the way, we went to Target and then to the mall.
We visited Build a Bear to pick up Madi's friend that had been left there the day before.
We shopped a few stores in the mall, went to Barnes and Noble, and then went to Applebees for lunch.
We visited Old Navy as well, and then Hobby Lobby last for my art supply loving girl.
Madi needed more clothes than Abi did, so we got quite a few things for her. She also didn't have an activity like the escape room that she wanted to do, so we spent that money on craft and art supplies.
We also bought Abi a shirt and some shoes.
It was another really fun day. I was exhausted after two days of nonstop shopping and doctor appointments, but I am so glad I chose to do this.
I love these girls so much.
