Tests, Tests, and More Tests






We've learned the "healing process" has no timetable it happens when it happens, however, the application and interview deadlines are approaching quickly. With this in mind we're gearing up to get "proof" from doctors on how well Will is doing. Tomorrow Will is taking a neuro psych test. This time last year Will took this test and it was scheduled for two days... Will's neuropsychologist said that many tests will not be necessary this go around and his visit should only last a morning. Next week we are scheduled to take an over night sleep apnea test (as sleep apnea can contribute to recurrent strokes) -- In our consultation today with sleep doctors, they really doubted that Will had sleep apnea but were willing to schedule him as a precaution. Lastly we will meet with a neurologist next Tuesday -- he will review all of Will's medical records and CT scans and evaluate his current performance. Stay tuned for results. They should give us the guidance we need to get back to Ohio for a rotation. In particular the evaluation of Will's performance on a rotation would contribute immensely to being re-accepted into a residency program.

Despite the uncertainty of the moment, we believe Will is going to one day practice medicine again. Will's continues make great strides in the areas of attention to detail and memory. As far as the timetables we know the Lord is mindful of our prayers and will bless us with the right outcome. Thank you for your continued support, we should have news on Will's tests in the upcoming blogs.

Above are two of our adventures the past couple of weeks. The first was a mountain bike climb up to "elephant rock" the second was our hike up Adams Canyon. Also above is a photo shoot Will and I participated in -- he took these particular photos, my husby is getting pretty darn good with the camera.
