Neuro-surgery follow up.

Broc and I took a trip to see Dr Boaz on Friday. His incision is still not healing well. Some of the internal stitches that are supposed to dissolve are pushing through. He pulled 2 of the purple stitches that are coming out. The rest he couldn't get to and said they should dissolve. We are cleaning his incision with peroxide everyday. Once he goes back to school we will keep it covered while he is at school and then let it breathe once we are home.

He is hoping that since he cut the 2 knots out, the incision will continue to close and heal. We are doing labs again Monday to see what his eos levels are. Dr B is not happy with 1 point above the normal range. He thinks that normal range is even too high for Broc. Broc is still restricted from gym class,recess and all sports till further notice. This is not making for a very happy boy. He has been still for too long now so he says.

Broc continues to have fevers still. We are not thrilled with the side effects of the steroids either. He has also developed a rash too which we are not sure about. No-one seems too concerned so I guess its no big deal.

We visit Dr Walsh (Mito Dr) this week too per Dr Smith's request. Not sure what he will have to offer but we will wait and see.

Broc will start school this week ,half day only. He is really excited. We are not sure how being on steroids will effect that. So we might wait and see if that will happen.

Dr Boaz is also setting up an appointment for us to see Allergy/Immunology to see if they can figure out why his body is reacting so badly. Gortex was used to patch Brocs dura which is the membrane that covers his brain. People very rarely react to it, that is why Dr Boaz used it.

As soon as we have anymore news we will share it with you all.

Thank you for all your love and support.

The sky driving home.
