New Neurologist

Yesterday we had our appointment with the new neurologist. Mike and I both really liked her. She suggested a neuro-ophthalmologist we can take Luke to in Phx. She said she would not recommend surgery just yet, as there is still time for that nerve to come around. She also suggested we get him in some other therapies soon, so we are hoping to start that next week. She is going to do another MRI and follow-up with us the end of October. She seemed surprised that they had not done another one on Luke since April, and more surprised that no one has ever sat us down to over one of Luke's MRI's with us. She wants us to have all of the MRI's they have done at the next visit so she can sit down with us and compare them all and see what is happening with his brain. She was very nice. She asked us when Luke woke up, and we told her we weren't really sure what was considered waking up since we have been waiting for his eyes to open. She said if he is responding emotionally then he is awake. So, I am going with his waking up date of June 25th...that was the time he cried for the first time, and I know it was an emotional response to the stories I was reading him. I think we are definitely on the right track now that we have a neurologist that cares on our side.
