Left Eye Results/Audio, Physo, Sleep Study Appt.
Monday 2-22-10: A snow day for the kids and I so will take this time to catch up on all that has transpired for the past two weeks. Where to begin, Sundays 2-14-10 MRI’s cleared Andrea for blood clot, bleeds and seizures – so relieved. The Neuro Opthamologist told us over the phone on 2-17-10 he suspected her blurred vision was Micro Migraines. A call was made to Ann Arbor and it was decided we would seek a second opinion with them. So 2-18-10 Andrea repeated the exam again and between two Neuro Opthamologist one said micro migraines and the other said it was the cause of her blind eye trying to focus/see – we will go with that answer. So for now, we are in the clear and her optical island in the right eye is seeing clearer. Imagine looking through the top half of a straw – that is what Andrea now sees in her right eye. Should be better than nothing, but really it is just messing up with her left eye – but maybe it will stop her right eye from tracking outward. So being we were in Ann Arbor for overnight so we could attend fridays two regular scheduled appts. Andrea requested to attend the 8th floor thursday night cafe’ and music. What perfect timing. She was able to see Bob the guitarist and Karlene. She was also lucky enough to meet some U of M athletics, get a U of M hat with the football and basketball teams autographs and meet a Olympic gold metalist and have her pic taken.(todd will post pic soon) Oh and speaking of pics, they are still a work in progress – I find them, title them but somewhere from there to todd posting them they get all messed up and the titles do not match – so please keep checking them. I have about 50 more ready to post. Andrea screens them first and has pulled the two pics we had of her in her head bandage/when really swelled. So on to fridays appts. Audiology went well, but does show some hearing loss of the right ear. Also concerned about the High Audible so she will need to see a Otolaryngologist. The physo and sleep appt also went well and they feel she has insomnia that has been heightened by the radiation. They have ordered a monitor she will wear for a month and they will give them more info and she will also have a overnight sleep study. Other than that they say she is doing very well for what she has been through. I am in the process of rescheduling her 4-19 appts (1 MRI and 4 appts) because she has an important CMACB practice that night for the concert on sat. This past saturday she did her solo ensemble and received two 2’s and one 4. Not bad being she had not really practiced. Sunday she tried to get caught up on homework. That is probably enough for this post.
