Dr. Taylor

Yesterday Miller had his 6 month follow up with Dr. Taylor since his last surgery which we are very blessed to have had done. Normally they do not do this type of surgery till the child has reached the major growth miles stone which for boys is normally 10,15,& 19 due to the high risk of bleeding. But due to Miller unable to walk in the mornings due to the tumor it HAD to be done! Let's just say since the surgery it has been unbelievable the difference in the morning. We still have swim therapy and issues some mornings but nothing like before. Yesterday while seeing Dr. Taylor we learned that the tumor had shrunk a little which is amazing news! But as we talked I said something to Dr. Taylor about Miller having headaches once to twice a week, he gave me a look that you NEVER want to see a Dr. Give you the look that says that's NOT good! He looks at me and says HE SHOULD NOT BE HAVING HEADACHES! So we talk about the tumor in his leg and 99.9% of the time an AVM tumor is normally found in the brain, so this being said we will be having a cat scan to see what is causing the headaches. Since Miller has the tumor in his leg Dr. Taylor fills that we should not find a AVM on the brain because this type of tumor does not spread but Dr. Taylor wants to double check to comfort my mind and to out rule tumor. We are not sure when we will be having this done due to we have to see our ped Dr. Due to insurance issues. Dr. Taylor said insurance usually approves this faster if the ped Dr. orders it but if our dr will not order the CT scan then Dr. Taylor will. The CT scan will have to be done at children's and miller will have to be put to sleep. We ask for your prayers that nothing will show up on the CT scan and Millers headaches will go away. Thank you all!
