Wyatt

Wyatt woke up today feeling no different than he did yesterday, still quite dizzy with a headache behind his ears. His body is sore, especially his back. His eyeballs themselves are rapidly moving back and forth even when he tries to hold them still. We have an appointment with a Doctor here in an hour. I will email you the results of that appointment.

Ok. We are back from the appointment.  This is what the doctor said: She thinks that it is just something viral.  The rapid eye movement she thinks is something called nystagmus, and it will just go away in 5 or 6 days. The high blood pressure she thinks is from the stress of this viral infection, and the dizziness will just go away on its own.  The blood pressure medicine is working and his blood pressure was lower today. We will have a nurse check his blood pressure in the morning and see if it is continuing to lessen.  
It would be nice if it was all just viral and we just had to wait it out.  I guess that is our only option right now, unless any of you have any other ideas? :)
I am trying to be positive. Wyatt is discouraged that he is missing school. He can't do his homework because he can't focus his eyes on his paper. And he is missing sports.  But we are just praying and trusting. He is still very dizzy and can't do much on his own.  Keep praying and I will keep you posted.
Love
Rachel
