Let's see...there have been LOTS of doctor appointments this week. Some of the updates:
1) Tenley's allergies/congestion is still really bad. The GI doctor put her on a formula-only diet starting yesterday. This is not only to perhaps help her congestion but to also help pack on the pounds.
2) Tenley's reflux medicine got increased while Will's got decreased.
3) Mom got the babies all ready and they were at the Doctor's office today by 8am sharp to have their blood tested for Anemia; however there were really bad storms last night and the office was out of power. So, they'll get their blood work checked on Monday. Hopefully everything will check out fine and they won't need any blood transfusions.
4) Will had a catscan done a month ago but the Neurologist would like to do a second catscan on Tuesday before making any final decisions/assessments. In looking at the catscan from last month, there is a possibility some fluid is on his brain which would require a shunt surgery (basically....brain surgery to clear the fluid out). So, the second scan is to clarify if he does, in fact, require this surgery. He will also have another EEG in early September to check for any seizure activity.
