The result of CT scan was normal with no noticeable lumps or bump in Steve’s brain. Really good news there. The doctor then immediately made an appointment with an ophthalmologist who was able to see Steve straight away. After a full examination, consultation and reexamination by another ophthalmologist for a second opinion, they both agreed that Steve needed to have an MRI. The earliest urgent appointment they could arrange at their MRI center was next Friday. This seemed a horrifying wait. Sarah being a true organiser and trooper, phoned round all the Imaging centers and found a slot for this Monday afternoon which was approved by our ophthalmologist. The result should be ready on Tuesday but our ophthalmologist is away until next Wednesday so it’s another day to wait unless something critical shows up. The ophthalmologist said it could be something viral or inflammation around the eye nerves but due to Steve continued deterioration a MRI was important to check everything out. So we wait. As you can imagine Steve is very worried. I’m also worried but feel we’re closer to the problem and the solution. I feel optimistic.

at least the brain scan was clear.
one step at a time helen, fingers crossed now for the mri, and hopefully that will show something treatable.
Some good news Helen, think of it like that.I can only imagine how frustrating the wait must be, but in reality you’re only talking of a day or so. Let’s hope they identify the problem and treatment can start this coming week.
Excellent news about the CT on the brain. One step at a time and be patient. Please remember that there are loads of us around rooting for you and if you want to talk……… Fingers crossed that it is a viral attack – let’s face it you have been all around the world and been exposed to so many different things. Keep optimistic although it is difficult at times – you need to be positive for both of you. I talk from experience and I have been in many dark places over the last 18 months. Erin xxx
