relieved
Today we had an appointment with our neurosurgeon. Dr Ruble of Atlanta. It was confirmed he diagnosed my son's ultra sound and MRI. He was straight forward, with tact. My son will have a vp shunt implanted. Looks like July 9th. The doc gave us an educated guess that Thomas will improve on his developmental skills. But warned us that the shunt brand he uses has a 50% failure rate in the first 2 years. We had a CT scan done during the appointment. Nothing new was found. Oddly enough I received a copy and looked at it when we got home. It was interesting. I was able to see what was the problem. The nurse said to keep this with him for emergency. And to keep any updated scan handy. So I thought I would pass that info on.
