There are certainly many gaps between this blog entry and the last... but here is the update from today's appnt. Thank you all for your prayers and concerns.
We are not having surgery tomorrow thanks to a UTI that has recently been causing high fevers. I'm strangely thankful for this infection....
Shea's fluid build up and some bleeding around the outside of his brain is no better, but it's also not worse compared to 3 weeks ago. Since he is not having acute symptoms, they will let his body heal from the UTI and try to naturally achieve equilibrium of his head/brain for 3 more weeks. As before we will watch to make sure he doesn't have headaches, vision changes etc etc...
Then ...the same routine... repeat MRI, see what it shows, and make the decision on the surgery or not at that time.
One other odd factor is that the ventricles of his brain... have shrunk very significantly since the last visit, to almost slit ventricles. We are all unsure why, because his shunt is set on the very lowest ventricle drainage setting. Dr Li hopes that the brain tissue doesn't continue to follow suit and shift inward toward the ventricles as it has in the past... but for right now the best thing to do it to continue to watch him..
For now I'm relieved to have dodged "number 10" since june. It's a bit unsettling to be at a point that what is happening to Shea is not making much sense, not black and white, not predictable.... but God knows and I will be content.
We also received his bone density test results, which were poor. The treatment to address this isn't a safe option for Shea with his other issues going on right now... so that will be put on hold until down the road.
3 more weeks of some nervous anticipation, but very happy to have him home, safe and sound for Easter.
I have long felt a special connection with herbal medicine. First, it's natural, Charlie attended the same small college in Southern California - Claremont Men's College - although he dropped out of school to enroll in the Julliard School of Performing Arts in New York. York. Had he been to Claremont, he would have been senior the year I started there; I often thought that was the reason he was gone when he discovered that I had herpes. So, my life was lonely, all day, I could not stand the pain of the outbreak, and then Tasha introduced me to Dr. Itua who uses her herbal medicines to cure her two weeks of consumption. I place an order for him and he hands it to my post office, then I pick it up and use it for two weeks. All my wound is completely healed no more epidemic. I tell you honestly that this man is a great man, I trust him Herbal medicine so much that I share this to show my gratitude and also to let sick people know that there is hope with Dr. Itua.
