We just found out today that Michele’s neurologist has made an appointment for her to be seen by a team of specialists at Mayo Clinic in a few weeks. This is something we had thought about pursuing eventually if we didn’t get answers, but it comes as a bit of a surprise that a.) her doctor recommended it without prompting from us and b.) an appointment was available so soon for her to go to Mayo.
It’s good news, so why do I feel somewhat upset? One reason is that Michele and I had really hoped, and prayed, that we would have something more solid to go on after today’s appointment. The appointment at Mayo Clinic means that we aren’t much further along in terms of a complete picture of what is wrong with her body. It is almost like starting over again and that is discouraging. Another reason for concern is how we will manage it in terms of someone babysitting the children while we are gone for several days, and the additional cost of the treatment at Mayo.
