Phew

Well a rainy Tuesday in Southern California brought us to Cedar's Sinai for Jake's Cat-Scan. After a very long nervous wait, I brought Jake in and held him still as he rotated in and out of the machine. Then we walked to Jake's neurosurgeon, Dr. Danielpour's office. He infomed us that Jake does not have hydrocephalus and everything looked good on the scan. Very relieved. We will see him again for a pre-op on January 23rd and for Jake's first head surgery on Feb. 1st.

Dr. Danielpour said he was relieved to see us looking happier, the last time we saw him Jake was screaming his head off in pain due to reflux. A fellow parent with a daughter who had a bad case he had recommended maalox and it worked and now drew us a diagram as to how to prop Jake up on his side. He believes his lack of sleep is due to discomfort caused by the reflux. It's nice when a brain surgeon's ingenious invention is a pillowcase filled with rice mannered like two saddlebags. We will try it out well at this point I would try anything if I thought it would work. I am sure Jake will find his way back in our bed tonight as its the only way to limit his waking up 10 times a night as we can pat his back and shoosh him back to sleep in 5 vs 20 minutes.

Well next up is Thursday for the cast removal and Jake's first glimpse at his new fingers.
