Shy-Diapers Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 "Okay, Emily can you show me where it hurts?" The doctor asks nicely and emily points to her left wrist.

justagirl4fun Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 "She doesn't talk much. Mostly she just signs," Maggie said, starting to panic at the thought of Emily needing a cast. "Oh my god, what will we do if it's broken? What if she can't sign?" Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 The doctor gives Maggie a puzzled look. "She doesn't talk? Is she able to or is she mute?" He asks being concerned about the welfare of emily. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 "She's not totally mute. She talks a little bit, but only a few basic words. She was like that when we adopted her a year and a half ago. She has started using a few more words just over the last few days, but she's nowhere near being able to explain how she feels verbally. She has to be able to sign." Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 "Okay, I'll ask more about that later, but right now I think we need to get an X-ray done of her wrist." He says calling for the portable X-ray machine. "Okay let's go baby." Ashley says quietly as she grabs the diaper bag and hurries Gracie to the bathroom,. Link to comment

Shy-Diapers Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 "Sweety you have to wait until I take the diaper off."

Shy-Diapers Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 "Unfortunately we will need her to lay down and still alone while we do the X-ray." The doctor said as it arrived. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 "But we can be right here with her, right? We can't leave her. She gets separation anxiety. She spent two and a half years in an orphanage and if we can't stay with her it will traumatize her so please let us stay," Maggie begged, wishing Ashley would return. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (Ashley already returned.) "Yes, but you either need to stay behind this shield, or if you really need to be next to her or hold her hand then where one of the lead aprons."

justagirl4fun Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 "Uh...that's fine. Trust me, I'm not planning on getting pregnant anyways," Maggie said, wishing the doctor would hurry up and get it over with so she could hold her baby again. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 The doctor raises his eyebrow, but decides to ask later. "Okay sweety this won't hurt just try to keep your owwie still okay?" Emily nods through her tears and tries to stay as still as possible. After a minute the X-rays are done and the doctor removes the aprons. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 As soon as the x-rays are done Maggie carefully picks Emily up. "See, that wasn't bad at all, was it?" Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Emily sniffles and signs 'scared' with one hand doing the best she could. "The X-rays will develop within 15 minutes. Now I have a few questions for you. First, why doesn't she say much at all?" He asks being concerned about the parenting of Maggie. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 "I..I don't know, that's how she was when we adopted her," Maggie stammered, looking to Ashley for help and feeling very much judged by the doctor.

Shy-Diapers Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 "We adopted her a year and a half ago when she was two and a half. She didn't talk much at the orphanage the doctors said it was speech apraxia or something." Ashley chimes in feeling mama bear mode kick in. "And who might this be?" The doctor asks looking at Maggie. Link to comment
