well that sounds ominous

I emailed Dr. Rockstar earlier today...


**********


Hope you had a wonderful holiday!

On to business...

I finally received the pathology report in the mail. It was far less helpful than I'd hoped! When you have time...can you please help me understand what the findings were?

I did not see anything that specifically stated cortical dysplasia? But then it could be that I do not understand all the lingo?

Thanks...and best...

His super quick Rockstar response back...



Best to discuss it on the telephone after the holidays when i have the
chart in front of me. Call me then. 555-555-5555. Happy New year.

What the heck is that supposed to mean?!?!?!



Jonathan says it just sounds like he hasn't read the report yet...and I should stop acting so sinister...

My nature is to pick things apart, 2nd guess, over-think things waaaay to much....so honestly....this vague,rock-star response would be a great one for me to do that with....BUT...

I like your hubby's thoughts, so stick with that! :)

Sophie's Story by Elaine said…
My guess...he needs the chart to refresh his memory. He has done this to me before and it didn't mean anything but the fact that he needed to read the report again. By the way, no sign of CD on Sophie's path report either. I was quite surprised by that. Call me if you want to talk about it.

Danielle, I can see where you are coming from, I've never understood all that medical stuff.

BUT...I can see where J is coming from too. Dr. Rockstar is probably busy and either hasn't had time to review the report yet OR just wants to go over it again so that he doesn't say anything not true.

Happy New Year to you and yours. {hugs}

He is super careful and likes to be thorough. Don't panic!

Easier said than done...I know.

lol Im with Jonathon...
BUT on the other hand I have been on the end of those emails from Dr. Rockstar and have sat there after reading the response and saying "WTF? What does he mean? Is he implying something?" He is quick to answer but sometimes he doesn't answer like I'd like him too! :)

I think Monica is right. Too many patients and he finally has a few days to himself. I remember when Abby was sick and our neuro went on holiday - he was the only one in our hospital so I was panicing until he told me that going on vacation for him meant not seeing office patients, just the ones in the hospital. Unfortunately for his wife he spent most of his time with us because Abby was so unstable.

Hang in there. Waiting for information is always the worst.

Don't you HATE when that happens?

"Don't borrow trouble," as Mom always says...It's tough, but I am sure all is good...

I'd be just like you, though and anxious until you get that call...

Hang in there...Just think....2010 will be SO much different for your boy and his precious family!!!

I'm with your hubby.

We once went to the super-fabulous/only one in the state cardiologist about Charlie's heart and he told me some weird stuff and when I asked he said, "I'll be right back."

Came back a few minutes later with a new spiel. I could tell that he'd totally skimmed our chart and missed some of the biggies like HEART FAILURE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, and POSSIBLE WPW. That's why I ask so many questions.

Whatever it is, its gone!! If it was something that could grow back you would not have gotten out the door of the hospital. These things look more obvious than CD when they have the tissue in their hands. Be brave. You will find out more in a few days.

We never got a pathology report. But we were told all along that it was cortical dysplasia with type II balloon cells.

Jackson's Blog said…
I agree...he just doesn't have the report in front of him. ;-) He has responded to me the same before too. Also, I've notice to never ask him more than one question in an email b/c he usually only responds quickly to one question. ;-) Anyway, don't worry! Jackson's did not spell out CD....it listed other things that Dr. C said was a form of it. Confusing in medical terms. Happy New Year to you all!!!

I cried when I got the news

I felt like such a heel not going with Trevy for his first post hemi EEG. Yeeeeeees...Jonathan went with him. Yeeeeeees...he's just as good as me. But still! He's my baby! I was instead sitting on floor 6 east waiting for Neurology to get their boots here and help me sort out this medicine mess! Seriously it's like a bad joke...how many Neurologists does it take to write a bloody script? And fax prior authorizations? Cause Trevy's been back for hours now. And I'm STILL waiting! Anyway... Jonathan had just stepped out to meet the pizza delivery guy when Dr. EEG made his rounds. Of course I asked immediately if he had read the EEG. Of course he had. That's why he was there afterall. And I cried when he told me... that for the first time in almost two years. For the first time since this whole crazy mess began. my baby's EEG is completely normal! Side Note: It's super fun to sob in front of Japanese men and watch them squirm When I kept repeati...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...

it's like being asked to the prom...

only MUCH MUCH bigger! I had noticed (yes...I stalk my site meter!) that a government ISP had logged onto Trevor's blog. Whoever it was had spent a good deal of time hanging out too. Followed a few minutes later by a government ISP...hailing from Washington. As in DC! My eyebrow raised. It was just kinda odd. Note-able odd. You know? Anyway...later that day (last week) I was folding laundry & thinking my crazy insane thoughts. Along these lines... I hope I'm not saying anything I shouldn't! Maybe I made somebody mad? Wait a minute! I live in America! I'm allowed to say anything I want! Aren't I???? A shout from the other room interrupted my thoughts before I had a chance to further mull. It was Jonathan. I had just received an email. **Side note...he's always doing that! Reading my emails! Sheesh!*** The said email was from a US Senator's aide! Asking if he could speak with me. Little ole' hardly has time to splash some make-up on ...
