Dr. Visit

We went to Dr. D'Alessandro today and she was wonderful. It was a big meeting with two of his therapists and her. They all agreed on what Mikey needs and I dont know technical terms but basically hes goiing to have fully body armor. lol just kidding! Hes going to have wrists braces, back brace thats like a girdle, hip braces and foot braces. I know sounds over whelming. But somethings will only be used during therapay and I believe the hip braces will be used when he sleeps. Maybe it hasnt hit me yet but Im ok with all of this. They said he looks great and they have confidence that with all this help he will be able to function wonderfully. We are going back on June 17th to get him fitted for these things. As far as a walker goes, Lisa said he can come to her office more often and use what they have there and that might be enough to help him.

Mikeys been taking lots of steps when we hold his hands so with the braces he will be able to have more balance. As hard as this is at times everyone really feels so positive towards his out come.

On another note the dr was reading his MRI from April of 2009 and she said to us Oh he had a Severe brain bleed on both sides of his brain. I almost fell off my chair. We were told he had a level 1 low grade bleed. We are very confused and concerned and are going to look into this. The only good thing is that she did agree that the sonagram he had after he left the hospital did show that it was gone. I guess it doesnt matter now whats done is done but I dont understand why we were told it was so low when it was severe. To be continued.....
