Chloe is responding to treatment!

Updated the neurologist as to what we see Chloe doing different with the meds and use of the tens unit.
1. Smiling and laughing occasionally and actually surprising herself. Doctor agrees it shows pain issues seem to be improving!
2. Headaches are less intense able to talk about them and get what she needs to help them lessen even more.
3. Handling changes in plans by wanting to know why's behind the action.
4. Arms are responding better and not causing sudden pain when she moves them. We are still not working over head which is the major problem area. She has begun to read in bed which gives her great back support.
5. The neurologist agree to increase the medicine that reduces the nerve swelling. To see if her mouth can open wider, arms continue to move with out pain.

Chloe had the best dental appointment she ever had because she could open her mouth wider then  ever before. She saw the eye doctor for a yearly exam and he said she showed slight improvement reading the eye chart. He was not sure she was able to see better or she is now out of pain so could focus on the whole exam better.
