This week has been full of Doctor appointments...
A few weeks ago Logan went to see his Orthopedic Doctor for a regular checkup they did X-Rays of his pelvic to see how his joints are growing and everything came out good.
Last week we went to see his Neurologist so Logan could get hooked up for his at home 24hr EEG. It was so crazy his head was full of electrodes. He was pulling on the strings trying to get them off his head, He was falling down all over the place I think it through off his equilibrium having the electrodes and having his head wrapped. Trying to keep a 4 yr old occupied by not pulling on his head was very challenging.
We went to get his results on Monday and he was diagnosed as having Left Temporal Lobe Seizures. He was fine during the day it was all night. The Activity was very high. The Doctor raised his dose to 3.5 ml 2 times a day for now. She also wants to order him an MRI so we are waiting to get approval from the Insurance Co. His last MRI was when he was 1 yr old.
He also had a stroke on the left side of his brain when he was a baby so I asked if this had anything to do with his seizures and she said no it's just a coincidence.
Richard, Elizabeth and Alicia went to the Eye Doctor Tuesday for a check up both the girls eyes got worse so we got them new glasses they are so cute. We should get them in next week when we do I will take a picture and post. Richard's eye site only changed a little but his glasses are scratched so he will also be getting new glasses.
Thursday Logan had a check up with his Gastric Doctor he is doing really good eating more by mouth he will snack all day and sometimes I can get him to eat dinner and not even give him a G-Tube feeding. Just water and Meds. So the Doctor wants to change his feedings and formula he was on Nutren Jr w/fiber to Kid Essentials 1.5 w/fiber it has more calories and he will only be fed 3 times a day instead of 4-5 times. He wants him to eat more by mouth. He eats good you just have to starve him for 5 or 6 hours in order for him to eat a good meal. So this should help him.
