Today we had two appointments: 1) second opinion from Hospital for Special Surgery and 2) Immunization and general 1 year follow up appointment.w pediatrician.
The second opinion doc also agreed with the same plan of action that the Mt Sinai doctor suggested. He was very thorough and very nice man who clearly knows what he is doing. its a hard decision to make as to whether we will go with treatment in Mt Sinai or in HSS. HSS is number one in Ortho in the nation. The doctor has been practicing for over 50 years, and he has a close relationship with the neurologist and neurosurgeon. The Mt Sinai doctor is eager to treat him, has a close relationship with the pediatrician, and was able to get a botox appointment this week!! i think for now, we're going w the doc from mt sinai bc she has to the soonest appointment to get the botox done in an operating room. there is no cutting just placement of needles into his muscles. but given that he will need precise shots and multiple shots, they will sedate him first.
Packing update: we are moving on march 1st, some people from church will be helping on friday to pack and to do what ever needs to be done last minute. And we're praying for good weather. Figure it will be cold but hopefully w no snow.
