Well yesterday I called the Mayo Clinic to see if Logan's skin biopsy results are back. The nurse called back and said that the doctor is on vacation and that the doctor on call did not feel comfortable talking to me about the results. The nurse said that the doctor said the results appeared normal and that he didn't know what our doctor would want to do from there. So I translate this to mean that we had normal test results. We should hear back from our doctor after the first of the year. Don't know if this means more tests? I have no clue. We did discuss the possibility of a spinal tap in the past but this was never pursued. I think he needs to be re-evaluated again so the doctor can see if there are any changes that may lead them in a different direction.
All in all, I am bummed out that we still don't have an answer but a little relieved at the same time. It is such a mind game to go through. You want a diagnosis but you don't want a bad diagnosis. And what does "bad" even mean. I guess it would just be nice to have an understanding of some sort of expectations for the future. I know we will never know exactly what the future holds but if he got a diagnosis we could at least know what other kids have experienced.
At the moment Logan is battling some pneumonia. Two nights ago he had a rough night and then spiked a pretty high fever which is not normal for him. He was breathing really fast and whimpering. I gave him a bunch of breathing treaments with no change so we trucked it to urgent care. They saw a little spot on his xray that was changed from previous so he is now on antibiotics. Last night was a rough one and this morning he was pretty fussy but some of his congestion is clearing this afternoon. He is such a trooper! Now Lauren isn't feeling well and I am starting to feel under the weather. Thank goodness Joel is coming home early from his fishing trip. Now he will get a house full of sick people!
