Great Dr. in Indiana (recommendation)
« on: March 14, 2006, 01:13:19 pm »
I'd like to let everyone know tha Dr. Troy Payner and Dr. Jerry House are excellent, and based in Indianapolis, IN. 

They performed a rt side, 2.5x2.8, AN retrosigmoid removal on my wife yesterday.  It was 100% removed, facial nerve intact; actually the auditory nerve is too (and they were surprised). 

This morning in ICU, my wife was doing awesome and experiencing only what we would expect her to at this time.

Worth a shot if you are in MI, IN, KY, OH, IL.

She is having some, yes.  They expected that and likewise expect it to subside.

Rob, Since that facial nerve was intact, the functioning will return as the numbness subsides.  This will recover in time.  Congratulations to you and Amy.  Wishing the face and balance a speedy recovery.  Hang in there!

Her face is numb but she's able to move her cheeks and shut her eye on the right side, which I think very positive.  Rumor has it she may be home this afternoon just the third day post surgery, which is also great.  I was able to take a little walk with her in the hall yesterday at the hospital. 

Assuming she meets the release criteria, my next challenge is to keep our 2 yr old from smothering her with hugs and kisses!!

Rob, the news we love to hear! Please give Amy my wishes on continued speedy recovery... and I certainly can't  blame your 2-yr old for having their heavy-duty-Mom-busting-hugs all ready for her!

Went back in overt the weekend for a suspected CSF leak.  It is one.  She's under great care again; has a lumbar drain in place.

Rob what if anything did the doctors say about the facial numbness?  I can blink my eye and move my check I just can't feel any of it.  Those little one kisses are the best medicine!  My niece would come over and slobber me...she did learn which cheeck is the good cheek and which one was the boo boo cheek

The doctors predicted some temporary facial numbness.  It is there for sure but is really not too bad in the grand scheme.  Amy is so early into the recovery phase that I can't say I am concerned yet.  The doctors seem to be satisfied with what movement and control she has when she's examined.
