Sending tons of prayers..... How did the appointment go yesterday
Tyvm.. this is from the neurology report. He said this could be anything from just a benign issue to a congenital or a cyst to a tumor. We can do a wait and see approach and monitor monthly due to the testing for this being so expensive but that could also do a lot more harm than good so we opted to move forward with the testing. He noticed her eyes do a rolling motion as well as the head bob. He also said he was glad to not see her head actually tilting in any direction and that not all her reflexes were delayed.
