Aysha - 08/07/10

There has been no tests or monitoring since last blog post. Aysha is being tapered of the clonazepam . By the time her school starts on August 24th she will have twice daily of the medication in half doses. Her weakness on her left leg is easily noticeable. We probably need to increase the physical therapy for that, will have to ask the doctors. Also the vision issues are noticeable, in that she has a tougher time to keep eye contact and focus.
I was reading an article in the Tribune about CT scans. It's about the amount of radiation one receives for one CT scan. One scan of the the head is equivalent to 115 X-rays. Aysha has received approximately 40 CT scans in the past year and a half. Add the actual radio therapy to that total also.
