Saturday part 2

We arrived at the ER at University Hospital around 10pm. It wasn’t very busy so we didn’t have to wait very long. They did a CT scan that showed moderate hydrocephalus.

We are very blessed that it wasn’t worse than that, and he does not need immediate surgery. He will have an MRI this week, and we have an appointment with a pediatric neurosurgeon on Thursday. They will be checking to see if he also has an Arnold Chiari Malformation

also, I’m not sure if they’ll be checking for this right away or not, but at some point we’ll be checking to see if he has any tethering of his spinal cord.

Ethan was a trooper in the ER, he wasn’t too thrilled at first with laying there for the CT scan, but he was so tired, he fell asleep. He wanted in his stroller sometime after midnight I think, and slept through getting into and out of the van, and getting his clothes changed and put in bed, then slept until around 1pm on Sunday.
God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good!
