no pediatric neuro??

Tuesday March 11, 2014

Taevon had a Neurology appointment with Dr O this morning (right after Keags appointment with Dr C).
He said he didn't want to change anything since increasing his Keppra has helped decrease his seizures. Right now he is having just a few a month. Dr O is retiring in May and they have not found another Pediatric Neurologist to take his place. He said my options with Tae are Methodist or Riley or a Dr in South Bend. Dr K is unable to take him because she is already full and Tae does not have other conditions complicated by his Epilepsy. So we decided that for right now Dr C will be in charge of his Neuro care since he is doing well. If is conditions changes then Dr C will have to refer us to Riley or Methodist. I know it is not the end of the world, and I know people are going through worse things but really? a special needs child with no Neurologist...oh and he wasn't completely sure if Dr C would be comfortable overseeing his neuro care...I am praying that Dr K takes Aaron since she has already took care of him when he had Aspiration Pneumonia in March 2013. He has neuro appointments all the time and I really don't have the time to drive to Riley a few times a month.
