Test Results

The last post I mentioned that we had to see a new physh doctor to determine if Megan had a concussion. Matt and I was told it would be a couple of months. Well it only took a couple of weeks. We meet with the doctor on May 1st at that time they told us that they were going to test to her to see if she had a concussion or not. That happened on May 9th, that was a very long day. They started at 9 am, took a lunch break at 12 for an hour and continued until 3 pm. It wiped Matt and I out not Megan. Well we just got those results on Thursday. Megan did have a concussion. They are saying that when she fell her brain hit the front of her skull and bounced back and hit the back of her skull. It will take up to 2 years for her brain to heal completely. He is also saying that she has a form of PMS. Yes, I said PMS but, it is in her brain. Its hard to type what this means. Her brain is giving off different electrical currents causing unnecessary emotions and making her unable to concentrate on the task at hand. We might have to put her on medication to help her with this Matt and I haven't decided what to do about that yet. It also seems that Megan will now have learning disabilities which we all ready noticed some symptons at school and at home, which now has been confirmed. When sharing this with my mom she pointed out that We are very lucky that this is the only thing that we have to deal with, since it could have been much worse. So now we are going to deal with her simple challenges. Matt says we will take care of the difficult first and the impossible will take a little longer. So that is where we are at right now. Her next MRI is July 22nd. Again thank you for your prayers and support. Love US!
