update on Bubba now named Draco. We wanted him to have a name to live up to so we call him Draco. He is still very stable and we now know the cyst contains brain matter and fluid. The cyst sticks up through the soft spotby about 14 inch and is that in diameter as well. You can see through the skin (looks like a very large blister). They still want to wait and see if we can see improvement and if he continues to do well hold until 6 months. The brain is covered here only by a thin layer of skin and it sticks out like a mini marble on the top of his head. The prognosis if this does not recede on its own is very poor. At 6 months they will do a CT and after that we should know how involved the process to resolve the cyst is. It is possible, we will not be able to do anything and that he will live his life this way and I understand it proabably will be a short one. He stills your heart and that is very difficult but we are determined to make a difference for every day he has and cease any opportunity to better his survival chances if they present themsilves. Thanks for all the support. Mary |
