I know I’m late posting pics for this week, but you’ll have to forgive, because I have the greatest news!!!
We met Isaac’s pediatrician this morning! He’s been seeing our family doctor until this last April, when he felt that Isaac needed more specialized care than he could provide.
Anyway, Isaac’s pedicatrician (Dr. Marcus) is awesome! He […]

I just got Isaac’s results today from the BAERS test. His hearing is normal and there are no quirks along the hearing pathway to the brainstem. I do not know the specific ramifications of this yet, and won’t until we see Dr. Finkel on June 16. In the meantime, I’d like to gather a little […]

We just got back from the doctor’s office where Isaac had his BAERS test done. He did excellently. They were prepared for him with the pulse oximeter and heart rate monitor, and because our technician was a little on the paranoid side, the “crash cart” at the ready.
The sedative dosage for this test was different […]

Here is the list of Doctors that are currently monitoring and/or providing care for Isaac’s medical care:
Dr. Wayne: Our Family doctor whom we love. He has proven himself trustworthy and honorable. He will no longer be caring for Isaac as of June 1st.
Dr. Marcus: Will be taking over Isaac’s general health as his pediatrician as […]

First, we want to thank everyone for giving us time to think and pray and make some difficult decisions without interference. It is greatly appreciated and has made our decisions this week much easier. We would like to share some of the decisions we have made.  Please do not second guess our choices, as they […]

I am going to tell you what I am ready to divulge and everything else will have to wait for next week. We are terribly overwhelmed with medical decisions and need some time to calmly and fully think them out. Please accept what information is here and wait patiently for us to fill in some […]

Isaac’s results just came in the mail. From what I can gather, his brain is perfect. However, it appears that they did not look at the same portion of the brain as they did previously (October 2006).  I will call Dr. Finkel tomorrow and find out. But if it’s true and there is nothing abnormal […]

Just in case you were wondering how we were getting along with the chicken pox. Well, we’re not. Isaac has apparently inherited my immune system. He had well over 50 spots on Sunday night (Feb. 24), but woke up Monday with 4 scabs and no spots. I did the same thing as a kid and […]

Isaac had his MRI this morning, barely. I had to convince the nurse that he would be okay with the sedation (not general anesthesia), especially with me right there to notice the subtle changes in his coloration. Dr. Finkel and I finally convinced her that a smaller dose would be more than sufficient, as it […]

Isaac did a great job at the neurologist. Dr. Finkel (Isaac learned to say his name yesterday) said there is certainly reason for suspicion of the cerebellar tonsils playing a role in the new apnea and is ordering a new MRI. Isaac is scheduled to have his new MRI on Feb. 25, 2008. He will […]
