Yeah....A Good Sign

So we took Kyle to see his neurosurgeon today for a follow-up and to get the results from the CT scan from last week. Kyle's doctor was impressed with how well Kyle is managing the halo, and he said his pin sites look very good and clean.

The doctor assessed Kyle's strength and expressed Kyle has definitely improved even though Kyle is slightly weak on the left side of his body compared to his right side. Which is a bit strange because Kyle was extremely weak on the right side of his body before his surgeries. Anyway, the fluttering in Kyle's eyes are nearly unnoticeable now...which is a good thing. Two disappointing issues are Kyle's voice is a bit hoarse again and his swallowing is a bit labored again. Those two things may not improve.

So, the results from the CT scan did show 2 very small areas, where they grafted in bone for the fusion of his cervical vertebraes, has finally started to grow. Yeah! And there was no change (no movement) in the 2 bones (I can't remember the name of one of them but it is next to C2) compared to February's CT scan. Yeah! The downside is that Kyle may be in his halo for a bit longer than the original plan of 6 months. But I think he will manage.

Thank you everyone for keeping Kyle in your thoughts. It helps!!
