Noah's Peripheral Vision loss from surgery

Some of you have been asking how Noah is doing.  As his parents we think he is doing great!  But from the outside looking in, people might differ their opinion.  Noah has a large loss of his peripheral vision.  Most of his left side peripheral vision he can't see.  Even though he is adapting quickly, there are times he runs into stuff he didn't see.  There is a good likely hood this will not return, but he may gain some of it back.  Only time will tell as his body heals and grows.

Noah's First MRI after 2nd Surgery

I apologize for not posting this earlier, but like everything else, time is flying by so quickly.  And it is easier to forget to post the good news.  Anyways, Back on Nov 9th, 2012 we had MRI Clinic day.  This is a scheduled day that the doctor's at Hershey dedicate to MRI and reading the results the same day.  So at 8 AM Noah had his MRI, and like many of the other MRIs he did it like a champ!  In and out within 30 minutes.  But this time, we had almost the entire work day to wait until his appointments.  And due to his Surgeon being on vacation, and because of how quickly the occurrence came back, they had us scheduled with the 3 doctors.  It was suppose to be at 2.30pm, so we show up at 2 to check-in.  But we wait, and wait and wait, just to get a room, somewhere between 2.45 and 3 we get a room.   And then we wait, and wait and wait.  Until almost 3.45 when our Oncologist comes in the room.

Both Tiff and I thought the same thing, -oh no, it's back-, why would you send in the oncologist.  Why because he is a great guy, likes to give good news every once in a while.  He introduces himself and asks how we are, I say nervous... He quickly responds with, it is good news!

There is no signs of another occurrence.  We went along with the appointment with the Oncologist and the Neurologist.  And made the phone calls and posted it to facebook as soon as we got out of the appointment room.

What a relief, next MRI check-up  in 3 months (February 2013).
