The roller coaster that is my life!

Whew a lot has happened over the past couple of days! As you all may know that we went to New Orleans this week for a multitude of appointments and tests. We started the busy week with another EEG. I haven't received the official results but I am sure that it turned out okay. We saw an eye Dr. since we noticed Korbin's eyes sticking a bit. She found nothing major and wants to follow up in 2 months for the issues that she did see.

Well, the MRI was scheduled for Wednesday morning. Well, as we all know that nothing can go completely smoothly for us. We get checked in for him to be put to sleep and after a lot of discussions and many opinions, it was decided that there was no sense in putting him to sleep 2 days in a row and would just put him to sleep, do the MRI and then do the surgery while he was already out (which I had originally suggested but that is a whole other story in itself). Well, because of all of the commotion, we ended up with an unscheduled appointment with the Neurosurgeon. After looking at his latest stats, he informed me that he was no longer 100% positive that there was a need for the shunt. We decided that since the MRI was necessary regardless, that we would go forth with that and then make a decision immediately following the MRI.

That brings me to today, the MRI and surgery date. Well, the surgeon accompanied Korbin to his MRI so that he could see the images as they were coming. Well, he decided that the MRI showed that things were NOT as bad as expected and that he did NOT see a need for surgery!!!! I was floored. I just knew that there was no way to have a whole slew of appointments with no terrible news! On top of that, it appears that the calcium deposits are gone and the Dandy-Walker Cyst is not as prominant as once expected! We will still follow up with the NS every 3 months but if there has been no major changes by the time he is 18 months old, we will part and go our separate ways!

There is no question that God has laid his healing hands on Korbin. I am honestly in awe of the power of the good Lord above. I have never doubted his power but to see the power of prayer and to see yet another miracle first hand is nothing short of amazing. Korbin has been meeting all of his milestones on time which is also very exciting. We do still have some tone issues but ya know, if that is all we have to deal with then so be it. God has blessed us thus far and I am greatful for it all.

Thank you all so much for your prayers! God bless you all!
