Neurology Update

Logan's neurology evaluation will be November 3rd at 10am at Lutheran General's Children's Hospital. I was recommended to a great neurologist that works out of LGH by a Mommy friend of mine, but she was booked until December 15th, which was way to long for us to wait. Their next free appointment with another neurologist was November 24th, but as we were talking, she had a cancellation pop up for November 3rd with one of the neurologists from the practice that I was recommended to, so we took it. We are thankful that we won't have to wait too long for answers this time. People have been asking what the possible issues are, and the first issue which was brought up a year ago would be fluid on the brain which is called hydrocephalus. The other possible problems that were brought up were genetic syndromes and brain structure abnormalities. Logan's sudden jump off of his distinct head size curve along with his developmental delays are what is prompting the evaluation. Of course the two issues are most likely we hope, not related and Logan just takes after Matt in head size. We would have done this after his 18 month appointment but it was not seen as necessary at the time because he was still following his own head size curve that he had been on since birth. We trust Logan's doctor 100% and are very glad she is proactive about the situation. She was right on about his developmental delays, and was always mindful and making sure we were following up with Logan's former cardiologist. Several people have asked if we are going to get a second opinion, and the answer to that is no. It would always be in the back of our head and we don't want to live like that, always wondering what if. Please keep Logan in your prayers that the evaluation won't lead to a CT scan and if it does that nothing is found to be wrong.
