Leon update 6/16

[JacquieP]

We finally managed to see the Opthamologist this afternoon about Leon's drooping eyelid(s). He will definitely require surgery to remove excess skin, but there's more. The doc is pretty sure that he has Myasthenia Gravis, so he ordered blood drawn for Acetylcholinesterase Antibody, which may or may not help. He also has to see a Neurologist to attempt to get a definitive diagnosis, so it's back to "hurry up and wait" mode. I'll let you know more when I get more information.

I can certainly sympathize with you for the "hurry up & wait" mode you are in; been there, done that & it is not fun. Hope you get a real answer soon so treatment can start.

Thoughts and prayers continue. I hope you and Leon get the official diagnosis soon so that you can progress to the next step. Hugs to you both.

I'm sorry Leon. Prayers that you both find the strength you need to deal with this. Any promising natural treatments? I remember Leon is into that.
