Cincinnati again...

We made a trip to Cincinnati again for Tyler's 3 month check-up which went well. Once talking with the doctor we found out that Tyler is having tics and they have now put him on another medication to help with his sleep, tics, and possibly some of his anxiety. I was hesitant about the medicine at first because it can mess with your blood pressure but the doc says it is fine and that we need to give it a try. So we started it last night and so far he is sleeping better but that's it--we will give it time and see.

When we set out to go to the doctor we told him that he wasn't going to get a shot ("poked" as Tyler calls it) however the doctor had a different idea. They did some blood work for genetics to see if we are missing something. He was terrified--hates it so bad! It will take up to 3 weeks to get the results back and we also made an appointment for a MRI on the brain scheduled for December 4th. They want to do another MRI to make sure the seizures aren't causing any damage since we haven't had one done since he was 16 months old.
