Mayo: Day 5

Late last night we had to decide whether or not to extend our stay just in case the epilepsy doctor, who we see tomorrow, will want to hospitalize Mike and do an overnight EEG. We decided to stay until Friday to get all the app'ts in so we won't have to come back. We saw the endocrinologist again today. She confirmed Mike has a low cortisol level which means he has adrenal gland insufficiency but the cause is unknown but treatable. Apparently, that is not uncommon. He will stay on the hormone replacement and do follow up app'ts at home with an endocrinologist. So we are done with endocrine visits while we are here and now we move on to neuro. There is some talk of treating the headaches with botox of all things! Should know more tomorrow.
