Mattie has had quite a busy few weeks. She is now being checked for kidney stones as we are still having problems in that area. Waiting for the test results to come back from that, should know something by Friday.
Over the past few weeks Mattie has been having dizzy spells, blury vision and light headedness. Her regurlar doctor sent her for a cat scan last Thursday and decided it would be best if she went to see a neurologist. The neurologist we saw Friday asked lots of questions that would explain somethings that Mattie would do when she was younger. They think she may be having seizures. Because it is not the type of seizure you would expect, like grand mal seizures, they may have gone unnoticed. She will have a brain wave test and MRI with contrast on Thursday, Nov 1. The neurologist is a little concerned about the brain stem malformation causing problems. They fissure cyst in her head had grown a little from the last cat scan a few months ago, but they don't think that is what is causing the problems. The neurologist also wants her to see a heart doctor for precautionary reasons. He said that people normally with kidney and liver problems can have heart problems. He also said some of this could be caused by blood pressure. Not sure when we will be seeing the new heart doctor.
We also found out a few weeks ago, the fallopian tube is blocked again. It will need to come out at some point. Mattie would be out of commision for at least a month. So right now, she said she will deal with the pain and wait.
I will do my best to post as soon as we have the results from the MRI and brain wave test. Please keep the prayers coming and remember God is good ALL the time!
