Today has been a busy day for Grandma! She started off with a trip to Salt Lake City to see the neurologist, Dr. Flannigan, this morning. Laraine reported that his office is not easy to find! The doctor's assistants tugged and tested Mom, but the end result showed that Dr. Flannigan concurs with the diagnoses of myositis and dormant ALS that had previously been pronounced.
He is going to have copies of all her records and tests forwarded to a specialist at Washington University for review; however, that process is expected to take "weeks" before any feedback is received. Wow, Mom's case has really attracted a lot of attention from the medical community!
The rheumatologist in Odgen will continue to be the main physician handling Mom's case for the present time, and Mom will probably be seeing her quite frequently for the next while.
Later this afternoon, Mom will be having another visit from the physical therapist at Brent and Conny's house. Then, since it is Friday, Laraine is going to drive Mom to Tremonton to meet Kyle and go home to Grouse Creek for the weekend.
Drive safely!
