Just got home about an hour ago. We meet with the neurologist to go over Bella's MRI and spinal tap. Her spinal tap came back normal but there were many things wrong with her mri. First of all, she has fluid in her brain and some in her spine (where the spine connects to the brain) due to the fluids pushing on the back of the brain. She also has a cyst in her brain and the neuro is hoping it's gme but we're not sure if it is or if it's necrotizing men. He says we won't know for sure until the meds start working or not. He wants Bella to go on prednisolone (for the inflammation) and omeprazole (to decrease the amount of csf production). Hopefully with the omeprazole, the fluids will slow down and some can be absorbed. I'm really hoping this would hope. He said that if it didn't help with the cyst also, Bella would have to have surgery but with her cyst, he said it was a 2 on a 1-10 and normally he'll recommend surgery to someone with a 7.
Let's pray this works. |
