Got up early and was at baylor hospital at 7:15. Barbara had the head shakes. The MRI technician said he had some problems getting a good MRI but barbara finally relaxed and he was able to complete the MRI

It showed that "the affected area" has continued to decrease from July and from October. The doctor was very impressed. The doctor did not think that the head shakes were seizures. He felt they were just happening because Barbara's brain has been traumatized He did not want Barbara to use Ativan. He felt it was too quick and didn't have lasting effects. So he prescribed a new medicine that should stop the shakes but also allow Barbara use of her body

Then he said he wanted to cut about half of the steroids if possible. We have a plan to do that.

He wants to make sure that the therapist makes Barbara work out. He wants to strengthen her arms and legs.

Overall a very positive meeting with the doctor.

We drove back to OKC and will be here 2 more days as we have an appointment on Friday. Then we will go home.

I was glad that Barbara still had the head shakes so the doctor could see them. It is great how God works things out even without us. Thanks God for always taking care of barbara and me
