Josh came out of surgery at 5 p.m. and Dr. Weiner said the operation went well. He did find blood under the dura that surrounds the brain, but it was not active bleeding and he was able to clean it up and relieve some of the pressure on Josh's brain. Dr. Weiner said he hopes this will alleviate Josh's slurring, asymmetry, and discomfort.
We're very grateful that we found this early and it was taken care of. Dr. Weiner said he does not recall this problem ever occurring before. I said Josh is a unique kid!
Josh has had a tough time in his first 17 years of life. The way I figure, he's due for age 18 through 100 to be a charmed life.

ReplyDeleteI just learned that the above symbol stands for hugs and I'm sending them along for Josh.
I hope the next few days go well and you continue to improve and recover.
