Update.

It's been forever since I've posted here. Life got busy and summer got away from me. In my last post I wrote about our doctor referring Amelia to a neurologist. We saw the pediatric neurologist at the beginning of June, at that time it was just a visit in her office, we told her our concerns, she did a few small tests herself and recommended that Amelia have an MRI and EEG. The MRI and EEG were completed at the end of June, Amelia did great with both. The noise of the MRI was tough, it was loud and Amelia had a difficult time with that, but she got through it and they got the images they needed. Then we played the waiting game. We went back to the neurologist at the end of July for the results of the MRI and EEG. The MRI was clear, which was good, but still doesn't give us much information. The EEG didn't show seizure activity, which was also good, this is what she was concerned about. The EEG however showed slower brain activity, which is to be expected in people with learning disabilities. The neurologist sent us back to our family doctor, she had recommended that he do blood work to check her lead levels, hemoglobin and to run some chromosome tests. We saw Dr. Mark on 8/12, he called me last week and her lead levels were normal, her hemoglobin was low, so he recommended that we start an iron supplement. Amelia and Paul were at my mom's last week, so I asked my mom to pick up the supplement and start giving it to her. We're still waiting on the chromosome results. He said they could take a few weeks to get. So that's what's happening with Amelia in a nut shell.
