We went to our follow up appointment with the neurosurgeon today. He wanted to measure Isaac's head and see if his trend was indicating a shunt, as he previously suspected. I was nervous before the appointment, knowing we might finally be moving toward or away from surgery for our little boy.
After looking at the measurements for the last three months and measuring again, the doctor was happily surprised to see no change in Isaac's head size over the last four months. The numbers and Isaac's continued development led him to say, "The proof is in the pudding." Isaac is doing great, and won't be needing a shunt anytime soon! It is such a sweet relief to have this answer and to reflect on our journey. I have certainly learned a lot and there is no question that Carl and I are feeling very blessed on this happy day.
