Sprite had her first follow-up appt with the neurologist today. He said everything is healing very well. The shunt has migrated a bit but she should be fine. She still has the neurological deficits on her right side that were there before surgery. She had blood work done to monitor her liver function since she's on phenobarbital, and will have another follow-up next week. The neurologist is stopping her pain meds as she's doing so well and we'll see if it makes a difference in her energy levels....she's still pretty lethargic. Also if all is well with the blood work we'll start to wean her off the keppra. All in all pretty good news! |
