Tom Update

Tom did great with the ENG today. We found out that the inner ears are not the culprit of the problem. We did find out that he has some eye movements that suggest an abnormality of the brain. We had thought that a tumor had been completely ruled out however with his symptoms and the test results that we had today the word was brought up again. Turns out his original MRI was only done on the brain and did not include the brain stem. We were referred to another Neurologist and also a Neuro-Otology doctor. They will do additional tests and hopefully rule out a brain stem tumor. We will also go back to the ophthalmologist again next week to see if he has any thoughts about the eye movement. At this point we are trying not to get ahead of ourselves and start worrying about everything but your positive thoughts and prayers will be appreciated. I will post another update when I have one.

I really hope he doesn't have a tumor. Good for you for not getting all worked up, very admirable. Thanks for posting this, I wasn't really sure what was going on with Tom. Its hard to ask sometimes because Adam can be so vauge. Keep updating, I am going to use this website for information and updates about Tom. Ok, take care, see ya soon.
