Morning Update

We met with Dr. G this morning and he reviewed all of the results from the day before.  He arranged an appointment with Dr. Ahn, our nuerosurgeon, tomorrow morning at 8:30.  He wants us to see if something may still be tied into the tethered cord.

Dr G also mentioned that sometimes these kids lose mobility and remain wheelchair bound.  He said we really need to treat the spina bifida separately from some of the other aspects.  He did, however, prescribe ditropan to try and help with some of the urinary issues we've been having.

Jacob feels stronly that it is the titanium bar and screws that are in his pelvis.  His Mommy and I sometimes forget that Jacob, now almost 10, can and should provide insight on what is going on when his body is hurting.   Dr. Sponseller will review the x rays when he returns next week.

So we are still not sure why Jacob can't walk and will determine what's next based on what Dr. Ahn tells us tomorrow.   We will also check for the results from the urine culture to see if anything there.

Thank you for your diligent prayers. 

There is Power in the Blood.
