Addi Update

Well, as has become the norm...no news. I went with Kim and Addi to see the neurologist this morning. She asked for the history from the beginning, examined Addi, and talked with us. She is also puzzled, pretty much. She did say we had ruled out some bad things, and that neurologically Addi looked fine- now we just have to find what is causing the headache. She said that once she had the kidney ultrasound on Monday and saw the nephrologist (I am not certain on that spelling- the kidney doc) and if he cleared her, she would start her on some medication for the headache. She asked her if she could make it until Monday, and I silently thought about how I hated for her to have hurt one more minute. So, I guess once they rule out any primary condition, they will finally treat the headache. Her blood pressure was back down, although still a high for her. She is really getting anxious about all these doctors, and I can hardly blame her. The pediatrician said stress and pain can cause BP to go up, but not as high as her's has been. She has been a good girl through it all. I guess most of you know that Kim and Paul have decided that in light of the fact that she has missed 5 weeks of school and it is hard to say what is ahead, they have decided to finish the year by homeschooling. Kim has been busy working on getting all of that together this past week and she is going today to get her withdrawn from school. Just keep on praying...we are thankful that some of the bad stuff has been ruled out, but we are still wanting an answer. The doctor said it could be that she would just wake up one morning and be well...we pray for that.
