Good News!

I wanted to thank everyone for all of their prayers and caring thoughts. Here is the email I just got from the Wisconsin Chiari Center. It sounds like Dr. H may atleast be able to do something.....I hope.  

Megan,
Dr. Heffez reviewed your films over the weekend.  He states that you have a small Chiari and is questioning a tethered cord.  If you would like to come to The Wisconsin Chiari Center we would need to get your insurance information to obtain any prior authorizations you may need.  He would like to get MRIs of your brain with additional views of the Chiari area and a MRI of the cervical spine with flexion and extension views.  He would also like to obtain SSEP and BAER testing.  If you can give me your insurance information, I will contact them and obtain benefits and authorization.  We are currently scheduling for November 24th and 25th or later.  Please let me know if there is a date that would work for your schedule.

Thanks,

Renee

I just wanted to share this with everyone. I also got a 2nd message from Renee at WICC saying that Dr. H thinks he can help and never has anyone take the trip unless he feels it will be of any benefit....Yeah, unlike TCI in NY.

Meg :)
