Milwaukee visits (update 02/08/2012)

Andrew had his back MRI this morning for follow-up on his syrinx (pocket of fluid) in his spine. Luckily the nurse got an IV line in the first try. Usually he is a really tough IV start. So we were thankful for that starting off the morning. Otherwise the MRI was uneventful with the sedation lasting all day, still tipsy at ~8pm. 

We spoke with his neurosurgeon about the MRI, the syrinx is stable and has not increased in size. So we will get another MRI in 1 year to evaluate the brain and back. That is good news.

His Neurosurgeon does want him to see an Orthopedic doctor for his back/scoliosis and that should be in May.

Andrew also saw a rehab doctor. The plan will to get more botox injections in the left arm/hand. We can hopefully coordinate both appts in May.

So more appts on friday...... but good news so far.
