Well Josh went and saw the neurologist yesterday. My dad took him and went in to meet the doctor to make sure nothing was forgotten. So hear is what was said:
* Full body EMG was mostly normal, but he does have some neuropathy in his lower legs. Nothing to explain the lack of feeling in his arms.
* Neuropsych test was MUCH better the 2nd time most likely due to the change in some medications before the 2nd day of the test. Everything seems to fall in line with medication issues.
* As for the seizures is has been put on Depacote (samples first to make sure there is no reaction to this one!). The doctor is also sending him to Henry Ford in Ypsilanti to their epilepsy clinic. It will most likely be two days but could be more or less. They will test him to figure out what his triggers are for these seizures.
* The seizures have been called pseudo-seizures, which means they have a trigger and he may be able to control them once we figure out what is causing them. Unfortunatly he has had quite a few since his appointment yesterday. So we will be making the call to get him scheduled as soon as possible.
Josh also saw our family physician this week.
*His blood work looks fine. No liver issues or anything else. We will continue to monitor considering the meds he is on.
* Dr Sams told Josh that the call for being able to drive is up to him. Josh did drive to the pharmacy and the store and it took a lot out of him. He has decided that it's probably not a good idea yet for him to drive.
*He has a script for outpatient therapy and will be starting that on Monday.
That's it for now. We have Billy's baptism tomorrow so that should be fun!
Thanks for all the prayers and support!
