Something to Share

I have to share:

Jessy went to see her Pediatrician the other day with her mom and when they were leaving Jessy asks her mom " Will I always come to see Dr. Ruiz-Unger?" So her mom responds "No Jessy after you turn 21 he won't be your doctor anymore, you'll have to go somewhere else." So as Jessy stayed quiet for a minute, turns to her mom and asks her "So then that means I'll be going to Leon Medical Center?" Lol!!

Visit to the Dermotologist and more..........

Jessy had the appointment with the dermotologist because she has a really bad rash on her face on the left side. As per the dermotologist what Jessy has is acne from the cortison she was given during her operation. He gave her a cream for the face and did tell her it will take awhile before its all gone. Much patience... will be needed. The good thing Jessy has such a great attitude nothing really bothers her.

Jessy had been complaining of getting dizzy spells for a few weeks now. So on Tuesday her Physical therapist had her do some exercises to determine if what Jessy has is Vertigos and the result was correct, she does have Vertigo. The therapist did some therapy to Jessy to try to get rid of the vertigo. Jessys not allowed to sleep on her right side, she must sleep reclined and she has to wear a neck brace for a week. Hopefully with the therapy and all these home treatments it will help Jessy not have the dizziness anymore. Jessys biggest problem with all this is that she says the neck brace is "Definitely Not A Fashion Statement".

Visit to the Psychologist

Well Jessy had her visit to the psychologist yesterday, extremely early in the morning. She wasn't to happy with that but she needs to start getting use to early mornings again. He got to know Jessy a bit and asked many questions about her life before the Brain Tumor and after the Brain Tumor. She'll have an 8 hour test given to her in sessions of 3 to 4 days. Her first test will be on Saturday, November 13th at 8am. That day she'll have 2 hours of testing and then they'll tell her the next date of testing. She'll have alot of one on one with the psychologist. The test is mainly to see at what level Jessys at.

What the Psychologist doesn't know is that Jessy will be teaching him a thing or two! Thank God her memory and her wittiness has not changed at all. He will be very surprised with her answers thats for sure!

Visit to Bascom Palmer

Today Jessy had an appointment at Bascom Palmer and the doctor was very happy to see that her left eye (thats the one thats closed 75%) was doing so well. Even her eye sight has gotten much better from the right eye even though she'll have to continue using, once her eye is better, the glasses. He was alittle concerned because her right eye does not turn to the right side completely, only 35%. Something he wants Jessys mom to continue monitoring and if theres any change to take Jessy back to Bascom Palmer otherwise he'll see Jessy in 3 months. This is the Muscle Specialist of the eye at Bascom Plamer. In December she still has another appointment with her doctor at Bascom Palmer to see the progress of the left eye. We'll keep you informed!!

Tomorrow Jessy has an appointment with a Pshycologist. She needs to have a Pshycological evaluation before going back to school. This is routine check for any child thats had brain surgery. We'll let you know how it goes!!
