Asher is 18 weeks old today!
We finally found out the results from Asher's MRI that was done on the 29th of July....Dr. Teadori called us this afternoon after I had left several messages in the office again this morning, I am beginning to wonder if they are avoiding us........ anyway so the results are not what I was expecting or hoping for....but then again is anything ever what it seems? She started out by telling me that there is a new area of concern on his brain an area that looks abnormal and has abnormal blood flow. she said that she would consider this an artifact because they arent sure what it is but yet know it shouldnt be there...are you kidding me they arent sure what it is..and they are suppose to be specialists, she stated that her nor the radilogy dept knows what the new area is....WOW is all I can say......and in regards to his previous areas of brain bleeding well they havent progressed any further but yet are still there and arent going anywhere they will be there for the remainder of Asher's life.....they can affect his motor skills in all areas or maybe none at all it will just depend and we will have to wait and see..more waiting....it seems like we are constantly waiting....She decided to tell me to expect lots of changes...it can affect him in areas such as his crawling, standing, walking, talking, learning disabilities, and so forth anything related to his motor abilities. He may have them all happen or none at all or just a few....only time will tell!
I am just distraught for words right now.....My little guy seems ok on the outside but the inside is a different story!
Dr. Teadori says they may do another MRI to see if maybe the 2nd time they can figure out what the unknown area of his brain is..I am worried that by then since no one seems to know what it is whether it can harm my boy in the process, while were just playing the waiting game....doctors!
Time for a change.

That makes me so mad that the doctors are so nonchalant about Asher's condition! Babies are fragile- even more so if there is a known problem.. but to say "we'll see" is RIDICULOUS!! Grr! You would think they would want to find out ASAP- in case it can be fixed or helped any.
ReplyDeleteOn another note- Asher is in good hands with you and Mark. Love makes all of the difference in the world, and you both have so much to give! Don't stress out too much- Asher needs your strength, and you can't give it if you spend it all on stressing out! PLUS- God is with Asher everyday in this whole thing.. and he takes good care of him. :D love you!
We know from Asher's birth miracle that he is a fighter. Don't give up hope. You are both amazing parents and can guide this little guy through what ever issues may arise. Stay strong. I love you all.
