NYC - See You Real Soon!

Remember this post?  The one about the neurologist in New York City?

Well, you may have seen on Facebook, but we received word last week that Lily has officially got an appointment with Dr. Souhel Najjar and we are beyond excited!

Dr. Souhel Najjar is the doctor who solved the medical mystery of Susannah Cahalan, whose story is told in her book, Brain on Fire.




Want to get a peek at Dr. Najjar and hear the fascinating story of how he took a girl considered to be schizophrenic by all other doctors, doomed to a life of possible institutionalization and psychiatric treatment and proved it was actually a rare, and treatable, medical condition?  Click this link to see the short video and the doctor who will soon be facing his next medical mystery, this cutie patootie right here:


So. We'll be heading to New York City this month.  And just like you prayed for us to get the appointment in the first place, we'd really appreciate your prayers yet again.  And we'll keep you posted on how it all goes.

Have a fantastic weekend!

*If you clicked the video link, make sure you select the video captioned "She went mad for a month" rather than the one showing 3 people sitting on a couch.  That way you can see Dr. Najjar!
