😪😪

Originally posted 2018-12-30 10:31:43. My daughter calls me this morning. I hear the worry in her voice. She found a lump her breast. Ughhh. I can’t right now… just can’t 😞 I am hoping she comes home and I can go with her to the doctor to make sure stuff is getting done.

Seizures and what you did or did not know

Originally posted 2014-04-15 22:05:01. My son had his first seizure at two weeks old. The foster parent called it ”tremors”. He was diagnosed within his first two years after extensive testing.

Step 1 of 2

Originally posted 2019-12-18 16:07:11. Went to see the neurosurgeon this morning. My tests results show some instability of the spine on top of a few other issues.
