Dr. Appt.

Well Maxton had his appt. today with the specialist and it went really well... She hasn't been the best doctor at explaining what is going on but today she spent a lot of time with us and explained everything really well. She said if we want to get a second opinion at one of the vascular malformation speciality clinics in like Boston or Denver she would be happy to have someone else look at him she knows a lot of the Doctors and would be happy to give us a referral, but first we have decided to go ahead with the MRI of his Right Arm and Chest. This will tell us the degree of the malformation as well as the area it is located. So we are waiting to hear when that will be scheduled for probably in a few weeks.. There is not really a cure for this the last resort would be surgery but that would only happen if it was causing him constant pain or preventing growth in that arm. Anyway that is all for today.. Kids are all finally getting back to normal!!!
