Wednesday, July 8
Progress report on Sister Robinson. Today she had her biopsy which
went fine. She was a little nervous but little pain. After the biopsy
the nurse took her to a follow up appointment with Dr, Spears for her
headaches. He is going to change the medication
but said that was all that he could do in treatments. His referral is
to a neurologist for additional work up ( which we know that mission
medical will not approve here in the field). We are going to give this
new medication a week to see if any improvement.
Sister Robinson is still inquiring about Topamax but Dr. Spears does
not like the side effects and we are calling missionary medical to see
if they will approve. The side effects are lethargic , sleepy, no
motivation (He calls it dopeamax) - because it
makes you feel dopey. Not sure that it will be conducive to missionary
life. The test results on her biopsy will be back Friday or Monday and we will let you know on that
We sent her home to rest for the day. We are sure trying to get a handle on this and feel so bad she is struggling.
