Going For Brain Cyst Follow-Up Wednesday 8-18-10

Tomorrow James and I will take Jaden to Kosair Children's Hospital for a new head CT to check the brain cyst. After the test we will go straight to his Neurosurgeon across the street for the results. Praying that it's draining and that it has come down in size. Our hearts are heavy because on his latest MRI scan last month it showed no change in size.
 this was back in April of this year when Jaden had his revision on the Brain Cyst Shunt...Since this surgery we have had 3 new head CT's. The cyst has only come down in size a small amount. Tomorrow will be his 4th CT and the surgeon told us 2 months ago that if there is no change in size we are gonna have to make a new plan for this cyst.
The shunt behind Jaden's right ear. This shunts sole purpose is to help drain that terrible cyst that is surrounding his brain stem.

Please help us pray, oh please. This cyst has been a thorn in our side ever since we found out about it 1 1/2 years ago. From the time we wake up each morning and until we lay down each night, it's always on our minds.

  4. I came here from a link posted on Makenna Johnson's CaringBridge page to offer prayers for Jaden. What a precious little boy. My heart aches to think of him suffering from this cyst. Healing wishes sent his way from England. Thinking of you all.

    love, Nigel XXX
