We were reunited with Dr. Tang in Neurology Friday afternoon. The best part about the the meeting was he remembered Taylor and I. That is the difference between the Mayo Clinic and doctors elsewhere. People here spend time reviewing you history before they walk in the door. When Dr. Tang came in, it was like we had never left. He knew exactly who Taylor was and what was going on. We reviewed any changes and a second Neurologist came in. Everyone agreed that the course of medication that the GI doctor recommend, Imuran, is the best possible choice for treatment.
When we left Neurology, we had a follow up appointment with the GI specialists. All of Taylor's tests came back normal including his scope procedure. We asked several questions and went over the effects of Imuran again.
After speaking with all the doctors I know we are on the right path. It will take several months for this medication to kick in, but when it does, it will help. Imuran is a powerful medication and there will be side effects. Taylor will have to have monthly blood tests to watch for developing problems.
The prayers are helping! Thank you!
