Ann Arbor and back

We just returned from Ann Arbor. The doctor said that he does have hand tremors, but he takes so much medicine for his ADHD and Tourette's Syndrome that they don't want to add to it. So if it gets worse they will have to put him on something. They also want him to get a sleep study done. He talks in his sleep alot and hits the wall and jumps up to hit his pillow and so on. They also want to figure out why he gets dizzy and feels like passing out when he stands up so he thinks his blood pressure is dropping when he stands up. He also has problem's were everything goes black. So we have alot more test to go through but all is o.k. for now.

I'm sorry to hear that Richard has all these things going on.
I'll pray that God will give him the strength he needs to face each new day.

Thanks Tracey. I know he is upset that he needs all these test done and wishes he didn't have these problems. But like usual we will get through it.

Wow. That must be so hard for him. We'll be praying for him and you. I'm glad things are ok for now, but more tests are never fun.

As if just being a teenager isn't difficult enough! Poor guy, I'll keep him in my prayers.

Its ruff. Hang in there. I'll keep you guys in my prayers!!

Known things are better than misteries (sP?) so maybe after the test you'll feel a little better. At least you can do SOMETHING then.
