Great Day

Cindy had her CT scan this morning and it came back good. The shunt was in the right position and it was working. It is amazing how fast Cindy's migraines will come and leave due to spinal fluid pressure in her head. Today was a very good day. She will be staying in the hospital until Friday if everything continues to go as planned. The Dr. advised that we would know very fast if the shunt will get plugged or if something goes wrong. Cindy will probably know within 24 hrs. and the pressure will cause the migraines to come back that fast. We were also advised that if the shunt needs to be adjusted we could contact the sales rep. from the shunt maker in our area and he should also be able to adjust the shunt if needed. So... we might not need a local NS.

What great answers to our prayers! Been thinking of you often. So good to read that there is immediate relief. Praying for patience for both of you... it's hard to sit around and think of something to do, huh, Kyle? Will also pray for good weather for the return trip! Love to both of you.

Yeah! So glad for the good day. Praying for many many many more good days to come. Too many to count!

Ok, gotta say it's weird to see, let's contact the sales rep so he can adjust the shunt in my brain. hmmmm! But if it works, great!

Kyle, Can you stand to laugh today? Last night when I read your report that the local shunt rep could adjust the flow, I thought that was incredible, and it came to mind "is that next to the Jiffy Lube?" But, thought maybe that didn't show sensitivity? Prayers are with you and waiting for more good reports!
