Well, as I wrote a couple of weeks ago, Ella has been having a lot of pain issues with her injured arm. Nothing has changed much with that except that it is still going on and I am getting more nervous the longer it lasts. I can't figure out what is going on so that is why I have to get to Dr Waters. I wanted to see him in Boston so I could also see Michelle, the PT who works closely with him, but there is nothing sooner than Feb 12th. So since I think this needs immediate attention I scheduled to see him next Monday, the 29th at Waltham. I am wondering what it is like there. Has anyone been there to see Dr Waters? How is it different than seeing him in Boston? How long is the wait? I know in Boston the wait can get long depending on the time and day you go. Any info would be great! Any prays for Ella are more than welcome...she needs them. She said a prayer before bed and asked God to make her arm better b/c she said that she doesn't like it hurting her. It was very sad.

Krista, I am so sorry that Ella is still in so much pain. I have never been to the Waltham office. I am surprised they could not fit you in sooner at Boston since it is an emergency. Is Waltham further from home? Well, at least you only have one more week to go. I will be thinking of you next week. Keep us updated.

Hi Melissa,

Waltham is actually a little closer to us. I prefer Boston even though it is about 20-30 mins more of a drive. I was upset that they didn't even really try to get her in at Boston, but at least she is going to be seen at Waltham. The morning we will go to Waltham to see him, he is also going to be at Boston that afternoon. Too bad they couldn't have gotten her in then. Oh well. I will keep ya posted.

Waltham office is great. The wait was shorter for us, and it was very easy to get to. I don't remember if there was a fee for parking, I don't believe so.

Krista..we are in CT also, Waltham is actually alot more manageable than boston and we have never waited more than 10 min. waiting area is clean and nice.

we went last week and left lower fairfield ct at 5:30am and were home at 2:15pm. we literally walked into dr waters office when we got there

Krista, I just hope he can give you an answer to the pain. Maia knows that Ella is having pain and she asks me about her - we are saying a prayer for her at night.

Hi Krista, I haven't been to Waltham yet but I heard it's very nice. Good Luck and I hope Ella feels better soon. - Dawn

Thanks everyone.
Francine, please tell Maia thank you for praying for Ella. It means a lot to us!
I will let you all know what Dr Waters thinks after our appointment on Monday the 29th. I hope we get some answers! Thanks again to everyone who responded about Waltham and for everyone who has been thinking of my little Ella Bella!

Krista;
How did Ella's appointment with Dr. Waters go? I have been thinking of you both and hope you got some answers. Let us know when you get a chance!

Love and Prayers;

Cheri, how is Katie doing? Still having pain as well? I remember seeing a post about her but I think I forgot to respond.
Hope she is all better!
