Leaving Boston Children's Hospital |
Since my last update Saturday morning, here are the highlights:
Dr Baird, the surgeon, stopped by and gave us some encouragement regarding AJ's vision problems. She said it is not uncommon for vision issues to be present when working on this part of the brain due to inflammation and just generally disturbing that area of the brain.
She would be more concerned if the vision issues persist for 6 weeks and encouraged us to give it some time. So, that gave us all hope because his vision is definitely messed up right now! Please continue to pray for a return to perfect vision.
We are praying for pain relief as well. The surgical team had 3 clamps attached to AJ's head. These are the scars from the head stabilizer. And, of course the scar from cutting his skin, pealing it back and cutting open his skull tends to be painful as well. Rachel sent a video where the ICU doctor asked him to smile and even that hurt due to the muscles cut on the side of his head that are somehow used in smiling and clenching teeth.
Goodbye Rm 735 |
