Brian's MS Follow Up Visit

On Tuesday the 6th we met with Brian's Dr. whom discharged him from the Hospital for a follow up visit.  Long story short, the visit did not go over well.  He, well we both felt he was being treated very poorly and above all things rudely.  (some of you may have seen the Richard Cranium post on FB)The appointment went so bad we went back to the Hospital the next day and spoke with the Director of Administration for the Hospital.  Within hours we had a phone call from a secretary making another appointment with him with another Dr. 
Today, Friday September 9 we met Dr. Okuda whom I must say it an outstanding Dr.  and much better bed side manner.  It has been confirmed again, that Brian does have Mutilple Sclerosis.  For some reason it is getting easier to say.  Not yet easier to live, but easier to say.  We addressed the issues of fatigue, sweatiness, pain and many more symptoms.  We were happy to know for certain that we had the right diagnosis. 
Dr. Okuda ordered another brain MRI which will happen in the near future.  Along with the MRI he has ordered other tests that will be performed.  Brian will continue with treatment for at least 6 months. 

That's all for now....

Until the next update :)

Oh Tara, I'm sorry it's been a rough go! I'm glad that you have a better doctor now. I hope you are getting all the help you need down there and are able to cope with it all. I'm thinking and praying for you and your family!
