We are off to Chicago. I am a little nervous about this trip as I am meeting with one of the top specialist in Lissencephaly. He is going to read my MRI to my mom and dad. We made it into Chicago with no problems. We had a wonderful driver pick us up at the airport as my mom and dad were not to keen on driving in Chicago! We stayed downtown and arrived on Thursday afternoon. We decided to head out to Navy Pier and go for a stroll along the water. It was a beautiful day. My mom put me in my carrier but I soon fell fast asleep. All this travelling really wears me out. It was nice though to feel the sun on my face and wind in my hair.
The following day we went see the doctor. Our appt was at noon. I could tell my mom and dad were anxious as no one likes to go to the doctor. The doctor was very smart and had lots of experience, however he was no Patch Adams. We met with him and he said that my brain is almost completely smooth. I have the beginings of convultions at the front of my brain. I think that is a good thing! I could have none! So basically on a scale to 1 to 4 the doc gave me a 2 with 1 being the worst.My mom and dad say that being right in the middle is not so bad! We can only go up from here! We have to work on fattening me up! I work out so darn much and have been adjusting to the Texas heat what did they think I was going to gain a ton??? So mom is back in the kitchen putting every fattening thing she can into my mouth! Overall our trip went well. We have more knowledge and my parents say knowledge is power! Back to Austin tomorrow! Only 6 days left until my party!
