Its not bad but its not good!


Yesterday we took Porter in for his 3 month head scan. According to the surgeon his results are, “not bad but their not good.” Porter’s brain is completely symmetrical now and there are no signs of the cyst. However, he is still producing an abnormal about of fluid. The excess fluid is not putting pressure on his brain (which is good) but it is possibly causing his head to grow abnormally. The next treatment step is to have his eyes checked for pressure on his optical nerve. Our ophthalmology appointment is schedule for the first week of March. Then we will follow-up with the surgeons, and discuss further treatments.

For right now we are loving our high energy “Chunk, Chunk” and praying that he heals soon!
