Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 i feel the " piece of the puzzle " missing from the many therapies my son has is the tomatis-style listening program. we have been on it for a month now and having great results. he is patient during times he used to not be (like cooking dinner) and at school. his receptive language has greately improved so that i do not have to always give prompts; i can just tell him to do something and he will carry out (well, you know, most days). this is NEW progress only since starting the listening therapy. we have been with dr g for almost 2 yrs now and he has never mentioned having a neurospec done. i might mention it one day. i'm saving up my pennies to have the mega brain scan with at dr amen's clinic.....vicki in los angeles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 I was wondering if someone could shed some light on what a neurospec is and the benefits? Does Dr. G. request it? How is it different form an MRI etc. My son is 41/2 and I can't imagine him sitting still for a MRI. I have trouble with my yearly MRI. He is on Famvir with DR. G. I just would like to know what is next. As always thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 , Young children are always sedated during an MRI. It's far to difficult to expect them to lay perfectly still for such a long time.( oue son's MRI's can take 1 1/2 hours) At our childrens hospital they use a little Versed drink first, then when our son is woozy, they start an IV and use Nebutol during to procedure. A nurse anesthetist along with a doctor are right by his side the entire time monitoring his vital signs. He does wake quite grouchy because the anesthesia gives him a headache, but they counteract this with caffine and Advil. A few hours later he's fine and playing like business as usual. HTH:) Take care, P.S. During CT scans no anesthesia is necessary, the scan takes two minutes tops. >From: dazseaton@... >Reply- > >Subject: Re: neurospec >Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2005 15:02:12 EST > > > >I was wondering if someone could shed some light on what a neurospec is and >the benefits?
