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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
