Braxton's Appointment

Braxton's PO appointment went well today after a delay with the eye drops.  The person who called me last week told me I had to pick them up right before the appointment downstairs at the pharmacy.  I arrived 15 minutes early so I could get them and be upstairs in time for his 2:00 appointment.  Well when I arrive they didn't even have the prescription, since it was a narcotic (cocaine eye drops) the pharmacist had to have someone bring it down to him before it could be filled.  After waiting 30 minutes it was finally filled which made us 20 minutes late to the appointment.

The PO explained that with the drops if he had Horner's Syndrome the effected eye would not dilate with the drops.  So the drops were applied, then 5 minutes later they were applied again.  After an additional 25 minutes the PO looked at the eyes and both were dilated.  GREAT NEWS, he doesn't have Horner's Syndrome.  He said there is no reason for him to see him back unless something changes.  I am still worried about the eye drooping (ptosis) but since it only happens on occasion the PO has never seen it.  If it is truely ptosis then it will happen more frequent as he gets older and at that point we will make an appointment.

There actually was a small finding on his MRI.  The radiologist noted a small cyst on his pituitary gland.  Neither the PO or his dr seemed very concern about it.  Seemed to be one of those things that if any thing comes up then it will be addressed at that point.  I will talk to his dr at his next well visit appointment about it in detail.

Thanks again for all the prayers.
