Anna has had a fairly good week. By good, we measure good by the severity of her headaches. People diagnosed with Psedotumor Cerebri report of having migraine type headaches on a daily basis. The reason for these headaches is the amount of pressure put on the brain due to CS fluid on their brain. Sad but true. So her "migraines" have not been horrible everyday this week, just a few days. Joy leaves next week for University of Columbus Hospital, where Dr. Katz, a specialist in the field of Pseudotumor Cerebri, will look at Anna along with a Neurologist.
Tricare (our medical insurance provider) has approved this and we are so glad that they seem to care, in an age where it seems medical insurance companies seek to fight patients care. Christian, the only other child in Georgia with this disease, was dropped by his insurance company recently forcing the parents to pay for all his treatment. Please be in prayer for this family as well, we have made really good friends with them. In fact, they will be going up to see Dr. Katz the same time we are.
Also, we ask again that you help to give to help us offset the cost of providing her with the medical attention that she needs. We ask that you consider giving what you can whether it be $1 or $1000. But more importanly than that, we ask that you pray for Anna and Christian to find a cure. Thanks again for your support.
