I had gotten the date for April 15 when I called the office right after the boys had their surgeries and the scheduler told me to bring them in that day. Now my post op notes said to bring them in 4 to 5 weeks after surgery to change the casts. I had told them on the phone that April 14 is to soon and puts us into week 3. She corrected me twice saying that I was wrong and that we need to be in this week.
Well, we arrived, waited in the waiting room and then were taken to the room. The boys were super excited all day because they be getting casts they could walk on. It was truly all they could talk about since going to bed the night before. After waiting another 20 min the nurse came in and apologized that today they would not get new casts because we are one week to early...... The boys started crying and we all were not very happy at the news. The nurse was super nice and it was not her fault but I was upset since I had told the scheduler that this would be the wrong week. So off I went to reschedule while Ron loaded up the boys. I found out that all the appointments were gone for next week but that they would have to double book us now for the 23rd. So sorry to whoever has an app now for their kids on the 23rd as I am sure there will be a backup.
I think with all that we juggle at home it really is a let down when mistakes like these happen. I was mad at myself as I knew better but once again let my guard down and trusted that the scheduler knew what she was talking about. 3 hours of being in the car, 1 hour of being in the office makes 4 hours that included our boys ending up in tears.
On a good note, last week the boys got to visit their class at school and we brough Chocolate covered Strawberries along. Lots of wonderful new signatures for their casts and a fun visit for us :)
