Another Doctor

About a year ago, I was introduced to Dr. Victor Bagha, a natural healer, who has helped a lot of people beat cancer and other incurable diseases, including Bill Howard, Mr. America. Dr. Victor treated Steve McQueen, and worked out with Arnold Schwarznegger before he was famous. So, out of the blue, Dr. Victor's wife, Raida, called me and asked me if I would do some work for them.

We met with Dr. Victor and Raida on Saturday morning, and we went to The Toasted Bun in Glendale. Spane loves the Toasted Bun's Silver Dollar pancakes. He was having such a good time that he had two helpings!

Dr. Victor said to bring Spane out to his office on Monday so he could take a look. Spane has always like Raida, and he thought it would be nice to meet with Dr. Victor.

Saturday night was Cruise Night in Glendale, so we went with Zeik and Noelle. We had a nice time looking at all the old cars. One of the office buildings on Brand has a large park with fountain, and the kids played tag while I listened to Paul Revere and the Raiders - they were good!

By the time we all walked back to the library to meet Amber, everyone was really tired, and Spane went to sleep right away when we got home. It was a good night.

    hello, i've been reading your blog and i have personal experience with this - my son was diagnosed with dandy walker variant at birth. i'm not sure if you're fully understanding what this is about. dandy walker is essentially a little missing piece in the back of the brain. it causes the cerebrospinal fluid to "pool" into what they call a cyst, but it isn't really a cyst - it's like a little bubble of water in your boy's head. when the "cyst" backs up, the ventricles (aqueducts) of the brain become larger. if they get too large, this gets diagnosed as hydrocephalus. hydrocephalus causes increased pressure, severe headaches, and a host of other problems. you should be taking your son to a neurologist and a neurosurgeon for evaluation, to see if he may need a shunt in the future. my son so far as not needed one, but he's only 9 months. good luck to you.

    Thanks for visiting and posting your experience. We did not know that there was a problem until I took Spane to the ER after he told me he was hearing voices, and having really bad headaches. By that time, he had been dealing with headaches and voices for nearly two years. He's probably had the headaches all along, but doesn't know it. He's only seven.

    At this time, we're still waiting for the appointment with the neurologist at Children's Hospital. One good note, though, is the Spane's psychiatrist trained at Children's.
