Visit to the Neurologist

I mentioned in my last post that Logan's ENT was a bit concerned with some of the MRI results.  His concern was mainly the presence of white calcium deposits on his brain. Although he wasn't too worried about it, he called a local pediatric neurologist and went ahead and referred us just to check it out.  Apparently, this is pretty common in CMV kids.

Those of you that really know me, know that I am a worrier.  So, of course, I go and google this and find all the worse case scenarios I can find. Andrew finally talked me out of "researching" this and just waiting to see the doctor.

So, naturally, I was quite excited to go talk to the neurologist today only to get there and be seen by the nurse practitioner because the doctor was out of town.  Luckily for us, the nurse practitioner was very good at what he does and went over everything with us and answered our questions well.  He even called us back after hours once he spoke to the doctor about Logan!

Basically everything looks fine because the spots were nonspecific and, although he is a little slow in his development, the important thing is that he is developing.  At this point, the only concern the white spots cause is an increased risk for seizures.  We will hear from the doctor personally next week and go back in 4 months to make sure Logan is still developing appropriately.
