Update to the post below

Well, we have finished the testing. The positive news is that she does not have Myathenia Gratis. The working diagnosis is pseudotumor cerebri. We are spending the next couple hours monitoring her & waiting for an opthalmologist from Lutheran General Hospital to give us another opinion. She gets to go home today and we should be home by dinner. They are putting her on a drug called Diamox to help subside the headaches and double vision. Attached is a website that has a little bit of information on Pseudotumor Cerebri. The doctor said this is the best website for information but be warned it has very limited info. We do not know if this is a permanent or temporary situation. Time will tell based on how she reacts with the medication. http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/pseudotumorcerebri/pseudotumorcerebri.htm Thanks for all your prayers and support. We love you all.
