Well it's been a while since my last update.

So my labs and PET scans were completed this summer as part of the primary workup for the lymphoma.

Happy to say that no signs of movement of the lymphoma.

So for now, it is observation. No chemo or radiation.

But I am bummed that I don't get radiation therapy which means I do not get any mutant powers or become the Hulk!

I have recently received the diagnosis of lymphoma.

It is one of the most treatable cancer.

I will be meeting with an Oncologist in the next 2 weeks.

This will be a good fight!

I cannot imagine watching my child having unrelenting seizures due to the encephalitis or watching my child going thru multi-organ failure until his/her life has passed.

Both of which are preventable with one MMR vaccine.

I apologize to my patients b/c I've had to miss work more often lately.

I've had issues with my left eye which now requires surgery.

So I will be out Monday 9/11, Thursday 9/14, and Friday 9/15.

I will be wearing an eye patch!!!,

They have finally found that men do not carry a gene to understand how women think.

Scientists have fully sequenced the Y chromosome for the first time, uncovering information that could have implications for the study of male infertility and other health problems.

Conversation in office, regarding vaccines:

Parent: "Dr. Reyes, I don't trust the government working with private companies."

Me: "Don't you work for Raytheon?"

MIC DROP!!!

I have said this for years that BMI is NOT an indicator of health.

BP, resting heart rate, and activity level are better indicators. Amount of weight gain (i.e. excessive) is also an indicator but average weight gain (getting older) does not indicate poor health.

It is a hit/run crime.

As many have heard, we have had another significant event in our family.

Our oldest son, Ethan, was struck by a car a few days ago. The car had run a red light while he was crossing the street. The accident required that his hip and pelvis to be surgically repaired. And this happened the day before his birthday!!!

As a result of the long rehabilitation process, I will be working part-time for the remainder of month of May. I will be attending his PT sessions as well as attending to other needs at home.

I know that this may cause some adjustments to be made, but know that our office is very much able to provide fantastic pediatric care at any time!
