My sons AVM was on January 23rd. He is finally going to have an MRI

Symptoms & Treatment

I spoke to the Director at the Physical Rehab facility where my son is.
She is going to call my insurance to request an MRI. She believes our Insurance will approve it, since he hasn't had one following his AVM in the Cerebellum. He is doing better in his Physical Therapy sessions and I am so proud of him for trying so hard.
My son has 5 more weeks at the current Subacute Physical Therapy Facility (that is all my insurance will pay). We are hoping and praying that he will be ready for Acute Rehab at the end of those 5 weeks (my insurance will pay for that). We were told by the Director that he needs to be more alert and able to withstand 3 hours of PT, to go to Acute Physical Rehab.

Thank you Ann,
He started speaking on Thursday.
The nurse was suctioning his mouth, and he hates that! He said "No more" to her.
On Saturday, when I was looking at him, he said "mom". Today he said "Good morning" to the nurse! I'm so happy that he's starting to speak!
I thank the Lord for all the little, but Big, miracles he sends our way!

Hi dancermom,
My son's MRI was authorized by our insurance. Yay!
He will probably have it done next week.
He's continuing to speak more words, more often, every day!
I'm so happy to see his progress and I thank the Lord every day!
