Clinic

Today Riley ventured out to SMA clinic.  He did really well and didn't cry at all while they were shocking his hand for the emg reading.  We had some great results today.  Last visit his emg reading was .9 and today it was 1.2! Given Riley's age and type 1 diagnosis they would expect to see readings well below 1.  How he gained some nerve function is both interesting and remarkable! After they do the little shocks they watch the nerve conduction while his hand is just at rest.  They are still seeing tons of small nerve reactions.  What starts to happen is as the nerves die off they branch out together leaving big gaps in the emg readings.  They don't see any of that happening yet. Riley is just one of a kind.  We were nervous that with these two illnesses he had this year that he would lose ground but he has bounced back and then some.  Keep up the good work Riley.
