Minnesota - day four

Yesterday we met with a neuro-psychologist. Calvin has had several developmental psychology evaluations over the years, but this one was a little bit different. It was very interesting and the doctor had several very helpful ideas for us. He said that Calvin was very intelligent (no surprise there) and would really benefit from some social skills training. Calvin is at the point now that he would really be able to understand and learn social skills if taught.

We also met with the neurologist. She went over the EMG test results with us. The test showed that the new medicine completely took care of Calvin's muscle weakness in the test. It's so very nice to have test results telling us the medicine will work instead of us trying to see a difference. We're off to the hospital bright and early today. Hopefully they can squeeze us in for the EEG today and we can start the medicine today. If not, we have the order to get the EEG done in AZ and the results faxed back to the doctor here. Either way we come home tomorrow. I'm so looking forward to seeing Chris and the other kids again!!

That sounds like good news! Have a safe trip home. Do you have any good reads for the flight home?

What wonderful news, I am so happy for Calvin and you and Chris. You haven't given up and it is paying off - along with all the prays. Love you all!
