I called and talked to Linda today so I could find out how Perky was doing. I guess they thought she had a stroke but they're not sure now. The Doctor's are saying that her signs and symptoms don't fit that of a stroke. Perky can't talk and I think she doesn't have any control. Her food has to be pureed: she's down to 117 lbs.
The speech therapist is sending her to a neurologist. On Monday they drew spinal fluid and they're running test on that. She has had ultrasound, MRI and blood test. She has also had needles put in her arm and shock waves sent into it, everything was ok. When they put the needles into her face and chin there was no reaction. Her thyroid test came back ok.
The Doctors are waiting for all the results to come back and if they come back ok, they are going to send her to the mayo clinic to see if they could find out what's going on. Linda will update us sometime next week.
