Zach had a good visit with the neuro, for once he impressed me...the neuro not zach, zach always impresses me!!:) he talked in depth about concerns and actions to take and what we were already doing to improve zach's development. now i dont know if its because i brought backup...our nurse...or because there was a resident in the room, but the visit was nice. we have a new MRI scheduled for the 23rd and hopefully zach is well enough for it then. we are hoping to be able to see what is going on with the brain....how the atrophy is, what areas are affected, how the myelin insulation coating in the brain is, and hopefully we will be able to have a better picture of what to expect from zach. he did say that a good predictor for walking is that the child can sit on their own by 2 years old....zach can, so he said that is a good sign and that walking should occur, just later than the norm. were hoping to learn from the scan about zachs cognitive ability, how he might learn and ways to help him.
i recieved a phone call from the peds clinic on post today, they are starting RSV shots in oct, so zach will again be getting those, 1 time a month until around april. poor guy he hates those shots, but its better than the virus any day....
zach is making improvements with the oral steriod and feeling better:) hopefully by the weekend he is back to himself!
