Post-op doctor's appointment

We had an appointment with Dr. Brockmeyer, the neurosurgeon. He said she is doing great. She will get another MRI in March to see if the surgey helped her syrinx. He told us they usually improve 80% of the time. We are hoping, praying and even crossing our fingers that it improves. If it doesn't it will probably mean she will have to have another surgery. But like I said we are very hopeful. We will also follow up with the orthopedic doctor to see what her scoloiosis is doing. We will do that in April. So far all is well and she is doing great!

Back to school

Isabel went back to school on Monday. She was out for a whole month. She came home early one day. I think it just wore her out. But I think she is glad to be back. It makes me nervous because I cannot watch her all the time now. Even though the doctor said she isn't fragile. I can't help but worry (after all she is missing a piece of her skull, a portion of her brain, and part of her first cervical vertebrae). I worry about her falling and injuring herself. As a parent I have always been a worrier. I often remind myself to take a deep breath and relax!! We see the neurosurgeon next week, I am sure he will reassure me.
