We had three big appointments over the last week. First we saw Neurology. He did one blood test that test for 150 genetic disorders with one drop. He wasn't sure why the genetic doctor didn't do this one to begin with. He also ordered a spinal MRI to rule out any neuro tube defects. Mainly a form of Spina Bifida called occult spinal dysraphism. Results to follow.

We also saw the orthopedists. He agreed that he does need a brace. The question is how high to have the brace go. The discussion is do we go to just under the knee or up to his hip. We go monday for a fitting and we will see what they think.

the last appointment was with his gastro doctor. She said we can change him to Neocate Jr. So we are now battling with the ins. company to get it covered.
