Back Home and Jessie is Doing MUCH Better

Right Now, Jessie is in the living room and I am typing at my desk. The reason that I know that she is feeling much better is because she is giggling like a little girl as she watches iCarley. Well, and also that and she can sit up without getting a headache or barfing...

If you would have asked me 1 month ago what was going on, I would have told you 100% seizures, but the MRI told a different story. It just goes to show you that what you see on the outside, in terms of clinical symptoms, aren't always what you think. The brain is a very complex organ...even a half of a brain.

Hopefully as Jessie adjusts to the new "Normal" pressure, the old symptoms will be a thing of the past.

For those of you looking for Details about the shunt, it was a low pressure shunt and it was placed on the good side of her brain. Not sure of all the logic behind this, but it was what Dr. Carson suggested to Dr. Donahue. There can be many arguments made to put the shunt on the Hemi Side as well as the normal side of the brain. Who knows what might be the best method, best type of shunt, etc....

Thanks again for all of your support, prayers, and thoughts.

God Bless,

Cris
