[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 389091, member: 1233"] We just got home!! When we stopped at a hotel last night I was so sore there was no way I could get into a hotel room if I had to climb stairs so we ended up at a very small family owned hotel. It was nicer than any motel 6 but it did not have any internet connection. We really LIKE the doctor. He LISTENED. Did not look at the stuff the other docs sent at all. Spoke with us both, took LOTS of notes and says he has a couple of ideas off the bat that he thinks will make a big difference. He took all the notes on a laptop so there is no chance he will scribble stuff down and not be able to find it or read it later, which I appreciate a whole lot. The other docs we have worked with have all made notes and then lost them in the files or on desks or somewhere, so this was nice to see. The people at the office were super nice. We are making NO changes right now. He is going to get all the approvals and scheduling done and then Jess will go back to the hospital in Dallas for 1-2 WEEKS for complete testing and therapy and help. 24 EEG, another MRI because he didn't like the quality of the one they already did, complete neuropsychologist testing, and work with the rehab department, OTs, etc.... He wants to get it all done at once so that we can get some answers and some real help rather than doing a piece here and a half a piece there and not really getting answers or help for her. I am very excited, and somewhat worried. It will be hard to spend 1-2 weeks away from home with her, but I am NOT going to have her in a hospital with-o a parent. The trip was relatively uneventful. My problem on the way home was my knees and legs. They first got really stiff and then my left calf locked up so I couldn't straighten my foot much. But we made it just fine. On the way home we stopped at what was advertised as an outlet for a chocolate company here in OK. No way was it an outlet, just a company store. they have decent chocolates and Jess really wanted to go there, so it was a nice stop. Fairly fast, easy to get in and get out. We also stopped at a place that makes fried pies. I haven't tried them yet, but I have wanted to stop there since I was in college. I used to drive past when my folks would take me to the university and when we came home, but it was not ever open when we stopped. So this time it was open and Jess and I got a selection. We are waiting until after dinner to try them. Thanks for all the good wishes, prayers, etc... I think we may have found the right person to help us figure this out. [/QUOTE]
