Test results for Jacob

Great news! All of Jacob's blood tests came back negative today! We are very relieved and happy this part of our journey is done. Unfortunately, we have not been able to uncover an underlying cause for Jacob's white matter changes on his MRI. So, our quest for an answer continues. We will schedule an appointment with our local Neurologist to re-group and see where to go from here. Dr. Wirrell suggested a nerve conduction study to see if there is any involvement of peripheral myelin and to also consider muscle and skin biopsies to look for inclusions of mitochondrial disease. She has also recommended some baseline neuropsychology testing to help with Jacob's learning, behavior and developmental issues.

Again, we appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers for Jacob (and us!). The power of prayer is awesome! Our prayer is that God will continue to reveal things to help our little Jacob! Kindergarten starts Monday and Jacob could not be more excited!!
