Josh update

Josh is now home and we have to go back on the 7th for an MRS (like an MRI just more define) and they only come in once a week to do this test. They are still leaning more to MS but she did say its still a possibility that it could still be a tumor but most likely its not.

We still are no better off understanding exactly what it is and this test will put more pieces to the puzzle for the right diagnosis. The lumbar puncture came back with no organisms but the other aspects of the test still is pending and the EEG said he has ischemic changes but no seizure activity (which happens in this lobe thats affected)

We only found this lesion by chance as he doesn't show any signs of illness.

Josh

Josh my 15 y/o was taken to the ER last night and they found a spot on his CT scan and MRI. The spot is located on his Left Temporal lobe deep inside.

Early this morning he was finally admitted to the Peds ward to follow up with the Neurologist and the Neurosurgeon. Josh had an EEG and a lumbar puncture done to see if their is anything in the fluids that will help solve what this mass is on his brain.


Will update when I find anything further out. Right now Josh is in good spirits playing the Wii, watching new movies, playstation 2 in their room and the internet availability. Oh what more could a 15 y/o want but room service and he gets that 3 times a day. I joke with him that he's staying at the Carle Hilton because he doesn't visibly look sick.
