Back in the Hospital

For a few days Byron has been experiencing severe pain in his lower abdomen.  Yesterday he started having headaches, like before the shunt placement i.e. sharp pains above his eyes.  We spoke to the surgeon's office and they encouraged us to head to the emergency room at NYU Langone.  So Bob and Byron went off last night.  They checked in about 10 pm and have been up all night since. The doctors in the emergency have done of lots of test with no definitive conclusions.  They are goin to admit Byron this morning and do a dye test with the shunt.  This will tell them how fast it is draining and if it needs to be adjusted. More soon...

  2. So grateful that the family is so vigilant and Byron is such a careful self-advocate! Great job, catching that in time!

      All,
      Lead me from the unreal to the real,
      Lead me from darkness to light,
      Lead me from worry about death to oneness with the infinite life force that pervades all creation.
      All, peace, peace, peace.
      May all the worlds find peace and joy.
      May the teachings of truth guide all that we do.
