March 5 Cristian  went to see one of his specialist that knows more about his NF1 condition DIxiana  had a list of questions to ask him and he answered them one by one for example Dixiana asked what part of the brain was Cristian tumor in He responded  in back of Cristian eyes very tiny but he explained this tumor affects Cristian hormone levels his  hunger sleep cycles moods and blood pressure also body weight. The only concerning thing for Dixiana  was that Cristian her son will develop small tumors  on his body while he grows under or on top of his skin when specialist can't specify when or at what age  but if it bothers Cristian he can get it removed with surgery. Specialist also gave  Dixiana support groups information help her connect with other families with kids with NF1. Cristian had his blood pressure high that day and Dixiana asked why specialist explained sometimes with his  condition it may happen this all had to do with tumor in his brain.
