Well, more effects from this tumor are being brought into the light. We met with endocrinology and she told us that he will need to start thyroid medication and suggests we start seeing a nutritionist because his glucose levels are up. This tumor has effected the area of the brain that controls his appetite to where he can continuously eat and not feel full. It is a constant battle and unfortunately we will have to be even more stern about what he puts into his body. She said that a lot of children with this type of tumor develop diabetes and we need to try harder than we are to prevent that from happening. Also, the occupational therapist told me that he would benefit from some OT at school to help him with his letter formations and speed of writing. Tomorrow we see the dr and go over all the scans and see what to do from here. I hope I have better news tomorrow.
