Over the weekend, Chris noticed an acorn-sized pocket of fluid around the shunt tubing near Gabriel's collarbone. Being the nervous parents we are, we decided to take him to Arnold to get it checked out. We met with Dr. Gegg in the ER and he felt pretty comfortable in his thinking that it was simply a pocket of fluid that Gabriel had pushed down to that area. Something to monitor, no hospital stay (thank goodness!).
So, this week brings new adventures. We have a busy day on Wednesday scheduled. Back up to Arnold we go. Gabriel is in for a long day as he will have a renal ultrasound, a VCUG, hip x-rays, an appointment with his GI doctor, and an appointment with his orthopedist. All of these appointments are in preparation for our first spina bifida clinic on Aug. 5. Thursday we also go to the opthamologist. Busy. Busy. Busy. :)
We'll keep you posted!
