What? ....... Split Kyle's Face Open?

Kyle had a CT Scan on Nov. 2nd, one month after the removal of his halo. Then Kyle had an appointment to see his Neurosurgeon on Nov. 5th. We don't have all the details yet. I pretty much was stunned when the doctor told me about another possible surgery for Kyle. MRI is scheduled for Dec. 9th and we will have another meeting with the neurosurgeons after that.

The bad news:  Kyle's brain stem is still compressed. Hence, the symptoms he still has:

Central sleep apnea
Hoarse voice
Partial paralysis in trachea
Difficulty swallowing
Shortness of breathe
Weakness in arms
Chronic vomiting

The doctors briefly mentioned the next procedure but to get to the bone that is causing the issue they would have to split Kyle's jaws and tongue in half. As soon as I heard that I went mentally blank!
