Oliver's NF story is a very uneventful one, thankfully, he hasn't had to go through a lot of tests or excitement. He started to develop cafe au lait spots at 6 months old starting with a fairly large one on his back. Knowing that his mother (myself) was the genetic mutation that brought NF into our family. We knew right away that the likelihood it was NF1 was fairly high. We talked with his doctor about it, and she agreed with the diagnosis and at the age of 1 he was sent to a pediatric neurologist. He was not tested at the time, and we moved about a year later to be closer to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, where we weren't referred there until another year later. He was finally tested at the age of 3 and was confirmed to have the same mutation. They told us that we only needed to contact them if we had more concerns or new symptoms arose. Around the age of 4, we moved back to our home. Sketch NF started another year later, and he has participated for the last 3 (including this year). He recently had his first MRI, undergoing anesthesia for the procedure. Due to an increase in headaches/migraines. They came back clear, and he continues to not need eyeglasses as of now. We will be meeting our new geneticist in May and will continue to meet with the pediatric neurologist here in our hometown yearly as long as no new and concerning symptoms accrue.
