Medical Update

Kelsey's testing came back normal. Hooray! We still have to wait for the Riley Neurologist to see her in November. At that time Kaleb will also be going to Riley for an opthamology appointment. His next neurosurgeon appointment is not until Deccember, but the doctor told us that there is a vision problem that frequently exists following the type of hydrocephaly that Kaleb has. For those of you who do not know about this or don't remember, Kaleb has a diagnosis of benign external hydrocephaly. This means he has extra fluid between the frontal lobe of his brain and his skull. We have had to be overly cautious and very diligent with his medical status these past two years. There were a couple times we thought he was going to have to have a shunt in his brain but thank GOD that never happened. Now the good news...his fluid levels were almost completely normal at his last neurosurgeon appointment! When he returns in December (assuming the eye testing goes alright) the neurosurgeon said there is a good chance he will be discharged of his diagnosis and of the doctor's care!!! ONLY GOD! We feel so blessed that God has continued to keep his hand on our children. Hopefully Kelsey will not have anymore of her episodes and all will be well.
