We went to the neurologist yesterday. I love those people at Savannah Neurology. They have been so wonderful towards us. Not only that Dr.Pearlmens nurse is great. I used to work with her at Neuro Inst. It was a nice surprise to see Tamara. I thought her voice sounded familiar when she called last week about Williams lab results.
So yesterdays visit was to review the results of the labs ( that I already knew were all negative). I was wondering what our next step would have been. Those worry's quickly went down the drain.. Dr.Pearlmen said that there wasn't any need in doing more labs. Phewww... Or any further testing of any kind. Another sigh of relief.. Mostly what William goes threw is all behavior. So the ABA therapy they do at school should help that out . Also the OT & Speech Therapy will help too. With all those little quirks that Williams has Hopefully will help me too.
There is one Question that was asked yesterday . A Question that Only a Doctor could answer. I've been criticized and talked about among my own family and a few nonfamily members over this hear say. I was told that the female is the carrier of the genes that cause children to have Autism Spectrum disorder and any other forms of it.Big and small..
Dr.Pearlmens said : " There is now way to find any of those answers right now. Our technology isn't at that level yet. Maybe in 2020 we will have those answers. But right now in 2008 we can't determine who is the carrier of the gene."
That put the biggest smile on my face....
