We attended our orthoptics appointment in late May. My son had previously been diagnosed with optic nerve head drussen. Our ophthalmologist was so professional and helpful. She really cared. She noticed optic disc oedema. Within the week he had received a mri head scan and lumbar puncture at CAH.
Our ophthalmologist phoned on the Friday of that week to check on how my son was. It all felt like a nightmare, in between appointments I had convinced myself it wasn't real, it wasn't happening. It was scary but having the great team of specialists really helped. They all spoke to me with care, they cared about my son enough to look after him almost like they probably would have with their own.
