Mayo Clinic Update

I am a little late to post this update but better than never! The nurse for Logan's doctor at Mayo Clinic called the first week of January and left a message that the skin biopsy results are not back and won't be back until the beginning of February. She said the doctor would call us at that time. I assume that the doctor that looked at Logans records when I called in December must have looked at the first round of skin biopsies. So we are still on the hunt and waiting for answers. At least we know they are still working on it!

Joel and I are very excited... Logan sees a new doctor at Gillette Children's tomorrow. His name is Dr. Tanaguchi. He is a physiatrist. I was talking to our speech and physical therapists yesterday and they said to think of him as a gatekeeper. We are hoping that he can help us look into Logans swallow difficulties, see if there is anything more we can do related to his abnormal movements, and look into his leg tremors. His legs tremor quite often, mostly the right one. This has been new since we saw the neurologist last summer. He doesn't seem uncomfortable when it happens and often it goes away when we reposition his leg.

I've gotta run but will keep the blog updated after we see Dr. Tanaguchi!

Happy New Year!
