        Thank you so much for your reply. And you’re right—I do feel helpless. Her first appointment is today, and your kind words are a welcome reminder to let the experts guide her. It’s just hard to trust, I guess.

        I really appreciate the resources you provided and there’s no doubt I will be looking at those in the near future (read: as soon as I’m finished typing this response :))

        I hope she’ll have more information after today’s appointment, and hope the additional tests you mentioned will be able to be administered quickly. All of this uncertainty is too much.

        Thank you again for your reply. It takes a special kind of person to respond to a post like mine.  I will most definitely return with an update.

        Best,

        Hattie
