Decision Day

Posted on | August 8, 2010

Monday morning The Neurosurgeon will be deciding what direction he wants to go with Greg. It’s hard typing on an iPod but here is what Greg is going through:
* trying to get his brain up to normal pressure via external csf drainage. He has had some hydrocephalus in this process.
* brain is used to low pressure so this is a VERY prainful process.
* NS has been trying to enlarge Gregs ventricles but with no success.
* NS is also trying to find The Sweet Spot in terms of pressure that is in the normal range but is not painful for Greg. Hes been trying since Friday.

Please pray that the NS can make the best decision possible with the least amount of pain for Greg.

I need to find the iPod charger, so I can keep updating! :-/

• Sacred Scripture

  But this I will call to mind; therefore I will hope:
  The LORD’s acts of mercy are not exhausted, his compassion is not spent;
  They are renewed each morning—great is your faithfulness!
  The LORD is my portion, I tell myself, therefore I will hope in him.
  The LORD is good to those who trust in him, to the one that seeks him;
  It is good to hope in silence for the LORD’s deliverance.
  -- Lamentations 3:21-26
