Neurology Appointment

We had the appointment today. Things went OK. First the boys - Brandon is doing great. Doc was happy with the progress Brandon is making. He thought he was much calmer and more focused. So with Brandon it's keep doing what we're doing. Arion is doing great, as we know. They met in private because he is getting older and I dealt with the kids while they met. Arion did discuss the headaches a bit. Doc thought that they might be from him not taking his meds for extended periods of time. The weekend is OK but if he goes off for longer he needs to work his way down. Now Lauren. We discussed the toe walking again. He retested her for the other reasons that she could be toe walking and found nothing. Her feet seem to be a little over-sensitive, which may account for some of it. Just need to keep an eye on it and let him know if she starts getting back aches. Otherwise, looks like were back to therapy (when the hell am I going to fit that in). We also talked about the dyslexia. He looked at the papers I have been saving and gave her some verbal test. He agrees that she should be tested. The cool thing was he told her he was dyslexic. He wrote a note for the school, requesting that they test for reading and problems with sequencing. He also wanted a phsyc work-up done. He told me if they refuse that he will give me the name of a place to get it done on my own. All and all I feel good about what he had to say.
