Genetics today!

Today we went to genetics at All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg today. It was a long drive, and I'm grateful that my mom came with me for the ride with Brandon. We got there 45 minutes early, so we chatted and read. I do have to say that Brandon did awesome, he was so well behaved. They brought us into a room and the physicians assistant, Troy, asked us a bazillion questions about both mine and his father's side of the family. My mom was there to help with my side of the family, I don't know very much about his father's side, and don't care to. I really wish his DNA wasn't involved with Brandon. Brandon can have my DNA, it works just fine. After the assistant asked us every question under the sun. we met with the doctor. She was really nice, she measured his nose, eyes, ears, fingers and cafe au lait spots. She said we would monitor his condition, that he does have characteristics of neurofibromatosis and it would likely explain his learning problems and behaviors. She wants me to take him to the pediatrician every three months to monitor his blood pressure and spine for scoliosis. My mom brought up his leg pains, and the doctor suggested we take him to an orthopedic specialist for that. I still have to take him to the neurologist! So many doctors, so little PTO left...
