We had a shunt scare yesterday

  • Apr. 8th, 2008 at 7:30 AM

Josh has had a headache for a few days so after a trip to the Dr and a call to the city, we were on our way to the IWK.  It was clinic day so we didn't have to go sit in the ER, thank God.  By supper time we had seen the neurosurgeon and he had a MRI and shunt series x-rays.  The Dr was worried because when he pushed in on the bulb on the back of his head, it didn't fill up as fast as it should.  But when the tests came back they looked okay, so now we just wait and see if he gets better or worse.  The Dr said he has made mistakes before when it came to shunts, LOL.  Josh still had a headache this morning but he said it wasn't as bad, so I hope it gets better.  He hasn't had his shunt done for almost 5 years so it wouldn't have been a shock if it had to be replaced but with what we went through last time, when he bled out on the OR table and was in there for 7 hours, I'm not looking forward to having it done again.  So now I'm off to work and hope I get to stay there for the day!
