Andy saw his consultant again and his field of vision has improved a little, which is good news. The consultant had reviewed all his results and the MRI again and decided it is probably Optical Neuritis causing all the problems. The cause he thinks is due to a very bad bout of flu earlier this year and high LDL cholesterol.
Although there is still a possibility there could be a small tumor, the blood work indicates not and if there is it is benign. So he has been sent home to see how he does for two weeks, work on the LDL and then his vision will be checked again.
So the news is finally more positive and we have all relaxed alot, thank you for all your prayers and well wishes.
Sarah, I think all these prayers have helped, I really do. :) This is just the most wonderful bit of good news, and I'm so glad to hear it for your sake, your family, and of course, your brother.

ReplyDeleteRemember when a virus was merely a bad few days of aches and low grade temps?
Now they seem to attack one's body and leave after effects ... I have a bad shoulder/scapula issue since a virus in 2002 .. seriously .. stupid but true
A lucky escape I hope. Fingers crossed for the next 2 weks.
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds positive Sarah. Glad the prayers are working.
ReplyDeleteIt must be a bit of relief for you all. Best wishes to you, your brother and your Mum, she must have been nearly demented with worry bless her.
That is a relief. I think exercise is what helps to bring up the HDL and reduce the LDL.
