Joseph

Well as most of you know, Joseph has been having trouble with his eyes since right before Thanksgiving. He describes it as "His eyes are bugging out", but basically it has been determined that he is having double vision. He had been having trouble periodically, but one day in particular he was to the point of stumbling and almost falling down, so he called and had me make a doctors appointment. I wasn't sure where to begin b/c I wasn't sure if it was an eye problem or if maybe his blood pressure or something was causing it. After consideration I chose an eye doctor. When he went to the doctor, she was able to trigger the double vision, but unable to figure out why b/c he passed the eye exam. So she sent him to another optomistrist that did some more extensive test and yet still no answer to what was causing it. So next step was an MRI, which come back normal but there were some white spots on his brain that concerned him. He said it could be nothing or could be Lyme Disease, West Nile or even MS. YEAH scary HUH!!!! Well, they made him an appointment with a Neurologist to try and rule some of that out. That appt. was yesterday and she first wanted to send him to Jackson for an angiogram to check to see if he had and anurism (sp?) but plans changed and now she just did some lab work yesterday, MRI of his spine today at 2:00 and Lumbar Puncture (spinal Tap) on Thursday at 3:00. Please keep him in prayer, I am stressed about it but I am not the one who has to go thru that. I will keep you informed as I find out.
