[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 143357"] I am feeling so overwhelmed right now. My difficult child had a brain SPECT done on Monday. On Tuesday the doctor ordered a Daytrana patch for him as well as ordered a CT Scan with-Contrast for next Thursday. When I went to go visit him last night I had a chance to talk to one of the nurses about him and ask about what is happening. She went and got his chart for me. Preliminary review of the SPECT shows patterns indicative of Bi-Polar, which behavioral wise is what we were looking at anyway. But further review of the Scan showed a profusion of blood to the left temporal lobe. There is what appears to be a mass there in amongst this profusion of blood. The nurse said it could be either a cyst or quite possibly a tumor - we won't know for sure until the CT Scan next week. difficult child knows about the Bi-polar but doesn't know the other. He of course doesn't understand why he is still inpatient - he doesn't get that he needs the help. He is scared about going to longterm - which is the plan. Of course, whatever this mass is will take a priority over anything else. But the psychiatrist with work in conjunction with a neurologist with it all. My mom and stepdad were already coming in next week to spend 10 days with us and I am so glad! They will get here Wednesday afternoon and his scan is on Thursday morning. I am so glad that my mom will be here. I do have my dad and my stepmom that live here in town, but I could really use a hug from my mom right now. I just don't know what to expect. It was so hard to not show anything different when I got home last night to my daughter. I don't want her to know and worry any sooner than she needs to know, but it was real difficult to come in and hold it together. Now we wait. The nurse said the psychiatrist should have the results on Friday. Christy:scared: [/QUOTE]
