We had Drew's "big" neuro appointment today and it was good news all around! All his tests have come back normal so far (and there were a LOT of tests). Thanks be to God and thank you all SO MUCH for the prayers.
There were 2 separate issues - the seizure & the calcification they found with the MRI. They aren't necessarily related. Update on the seizure: There is nothing to indicate that he has epilepsy. The doctor said that basically there is still a 50/50 chance that he will have another seizure, so we will cross that bridge if we come to it. Update on the calcification: They believe it was caused by a virus I had while pregnant (seriously, I was sick for less than 2 days - didn't even think it was a big deal)! It could cause developmental delays, but as of now, he's on track with his milestones & the doctor isn't worried. We chose to have him evaluated a little more in depth, just to catch anything that a developmental specialist might see. That won't happen for a few more weeks. Again, the doctor thinks he's fine, so we are thankful beyond measure! (The calcification could also not effect him in anyway, which is what we are hoping and praying for).
P.S. His new doctor is literally a brain surgeon who graduated from Harvard Medical -- YESSSSSSS!

So happy for all the good news today! We'll keep praying for him and hope the calcification doesn't cause him any problems! Don't forget to post a video of him walking!
So glad to hear the good news. Lots of prayers for Drew coming your way!

Oh, I am so glad to hear that the doctor (Harvard trained brain surgeon - NICE!) had nothing but good news to share! Thank you, Jesus! We'll continue to pray that the further tests all come back normal as well.
Give that boy a squeeze for me! :)
Praise the Lord for the answered prayers of good reports from Drew's doctors.
I love that little boy and will continue to pray for him always.
Love,
Mimi
Amazing! I'm so glad to hear the wonderful news! We have been anxious to hear how he's doing. He sure is a little trooper... that has to be hard to go through all those tests (as well as emotionally hard for you & Matt.) Congrats & we'll pray for continual news on the positive side.
