I made my return to Nottingham hospital today. Recently Kathy has been going to the hospital without me while I work but today I wanted to go as well. We were to meet with the Neurological Registrar to talk about an apparent recent decline in in Summers health. The last 2 days things have got better but she has been tired and staring a lot into thin air. Both signs of hydrocephalus, water on the brain.
They are a little concerned also, enough to have her booked into have another MRI scan on Monday to have a good look inside her head with a view to possible surgery the following Tuesday although this is unlikely.
They also want to take a sample of this fluid which they get by sticking a needle through her soft spots!! I wont be able to watch that happen.
We also met with the orthopedic consultant about her hips. They are doing really well and are now seated nicely in their sockets. We can now move this line of treatment to Leicester to cut down on some travel time! We think the brace will be on for at least another 4 weeks full time. They will not fit it part time after that as we had previously been told which is good, that would have been a lot of work fitting and removing that each day.
