Yesterday Laura went to her first physical therapy meeting without any certainty that her problem was truly muscular, but it was at least determined that Laura’s upper legs are very weak. She can’t squat at all, for example. We knew that. Laura got a cane.
Laura’s brain CT came back clear. This morning she met with her oncologist and with the neurosurgeon this afternoon. Neither had any ideas. We were under the impression that her neurosurgeon was skilled enough to do a neurological work up, but he is not, so couldn’t offer any diagnosis — he could only say that the shunt was working and leg troubles weren’t due to hydrocephalus.
The two doctors will be talking soon and will refer Laura to a neurologist. So for now we’re just waiting.
No diagnosis, yet

Waiting can be difficult, and it is also an opportunity to breathe in the love, beauty and grace that is all around us, and in us all the time. May you continue to be supported by all the Life that is emerging this spring!!
Many Blessings,
