and one more thing i forgot before...

we've added another specialist to our list. we got rid of gastro, OT/PT/SLP, dietitian, and nursing...

and now we've added

neuro!

asher gets (what i suspect are) migraines, which are so bad he ends up admitted for ?sepsis/meningitis with febrile seizures. and with the stent material in his AV node, we're just wondering if we should be concerned about the migraines and seizures.

now, normally febrile seizures aren't a huge concern. they occur with high fevers and don't hurt, don't cause any brain damage, etc. BUT combined with the migraines, stent material, and asher's fondness for complicating the simplest things, i asked for a consult. if they laugh us out of the room because clearly there's no need for neuro, then so be it, but at least we looked into it.

our appointment is in august.

just thought i'd let you know.
