The Ups and Downs

We had two appts today (Monday). The first appt today was with the neurosurgeon (NS), Dr. Nagy. He thought she seemed to be progressing nicely. He also thinks she is crazy cute. We showed him home videos of Aubs from the weekend. He was very glad to see her making such good progress. She waved and walked for him in the office. Her Mimi said "God Bless Dr. Nagy" and Aubs said "God bless you Dr. Nagy". He then said, "God bless you Aubrey". We felt good leaving there. Mimi, Aubrey, and I went to our favorite park for swing time. It was a blast. Then we headed to the eye doctor, Dr. Cockings. He examined her eyes initially and noticed the nerves may be more swollen. So he had to dilate her eyes. She hates that bad! After fighting him to look at her dilated eyes, he confirmed that the nerves at the back of her eye were more swollen than last Friday. He called Dr. Nagy. We had to go back to Dr. Nagy office. We then scheduled a MRI for tomorrow since she had recently eaten. We are assuming they are wanting to check the current clot size and it's location. Also making sure nothing else is affecting the eye nerves. We are making sure there isn't anything that needs prompt intervention. Her MRI is scheduled for 100pm. We have to be checked in by 1100am. Again she will receive general anesthesia for the case...boo. Physical therapy came to evaluate her today too. The therapist was amazed by Aubrey's progress and strength. Physical therapy will come 2-3 times a week. All and all, we have only a few milestones to practice and achieve before we are back to normal. On a lighter note, we purchased a train set for Aubrey at home. It is awesome. She practices her balance, walking, and hand-eye-coordination without knowing it. The train set and swing set have been our saving grace. Keep the prayers coming everyone and thank you!
