Neurology Appointment

This was the beautiful sunrise that we drove past.

Yesterday Broc and I made the trip to Riley to see his neurologist. Broc has been having quite a few issues since last fall and they are beginning to interfere with his school work and how he is able to function on a day to day basis.

We didn't get any answers yet as there are many things that need to be ruled out first. She had Broc write a sentence for her and his name. Next she did all the Dr things vitals,running,jumping all the fun things the kids love to do.She also checked his strength in his arms and legs.She said they are all good. She has ordered a brain MRI to rule out any abnormalities and to see if his white matter has continued to decrease or stay the same as the last MRI he had.

She has also asked us to see Dr Walsh again. He is the Mitochondrial Dr. We have seen him before with Broc but he felt that everything okay. Since all the regression Dr Smith wants us to revisit the Mito aspect again. She also drew mito labs to check all his levels again as its been a while since we did that.

She asked how many services Broc is getting at school and for how long as she thinks maybe that can be increased if possible.
She also said we should look into having Brocs hearing tested. We did that about a year ago. We are thinking that right now it may not even be accurate as we wont know if he really cannot hear or if he cannot hear cause he is not focusing on what he needs to be hearing. We have had that issue in the past too.

In the end she did say that we may find nothing wrong with his brain which will be wonderful except what we have already found and that all of these new issues are due to his ADHD. If that is the case then we will all have to find a new way for him to cope and be able to carry on at school. It may be a Special Ed classroom or having any aid. We are not sure yet what it will be.

Broc will also be seeing the neurosurgeon on Friday and he will add anymore MRIs that he wants to the one Broc will be having in June.

Look who we ran into there.
