I am just going to paste the email I sent out in here since my fingers will fall off if I type it twice. LOL
Okay. First let me just say that I am freaking exhausted. Children's Mercy is laid out weird, and I have never seen so many different doctors in one day in my entire LIFE.
He probably has mild epilepsy. We saw a neurologist, and he wants to look more in depth at his brain scans before he gives me a diagnosis. He looked at them quickly before he talked to me but he said that he wants to look at them more. The way he explained it to me, is that some wires are crossed in his brain that shouldn't be. He said that he's fine, of course, but he doesn't want to put him on heavy medication yet because he's so little. He said there are drugs we can try. So once the blood work, etc comes back, we'll know more.
He had a male nurse drawing his blood.... after dude took the needle out, J kicked him in the junk. Hard. I tried not to laugh.
They gave him some liquid meds that were supposed to make him loopy for the CT scan.. so did not work. They had to tie the poor kid down. Luckily it was short.
So.. after the scan.. they asked me if I knew how to get to ophthalmology. I said yes, but his appt isn't until Thursday. They said no, it's in 10 minutes. What? Okay. So we go to see the eye dr. They dilated his eyes.. that was fun. So then the eye doctor is looking at him and asks me if there is any family history of contacts/glasses. I say yes.. pretty much everyone but Jeff and his sister has a mild astigmatism. She looks at me.. and says.. well.. his is more than slight. So yah, he has a major astigmatism and needs glasses, like now. So guess what I'm doing tonight? SHOOT ME.
