Friday Update from NH

A discouraging day at Dartmouth-Hitchcock. The dr. we saw specializes in pituitary tumors and he doesn't think we need to do anything more than watch it. Apparently, in his opinion, it is so small it shouldn't be causing problems like headaches and seizures. He said the type and size Mike has can just sit there and not cause problems at all. The good news is...he doesn't need brain surgery. The bad news....still don't have answers. Dr. said may never get a diagnosis but can treat the symptoms. Recommended he keep seeing an endocrinologist to get his endocrine system working properly, see a neurologist who specializes in seizures, and see a neurologist who specializes in headaches. Mike still has an app't at Mayo Clinic on May 19th. The hope is that since they see people from all over the world with neurology problems and endocrine problems that are hard to diagnosis, maybe, just maybe, they have seen someone with the same symptoms as his. In the meantime seizures seem to be contained to when he is sleeping but headaches are still intense. We will keep pressing on and hope all of you will keep praying!
