Hi guys, sorry its taken me so long to get back. The past few days have been crazy. I talked to McKenna and he doesn't want to do any more brain surgery on my MIL until she can heal from the shunt, so she was just moved to Shaugnessy Kaplan Rehab yesterday. I was so psyched to hear that, since I work at Salem Hospital and can now visit her on my breaks, during lunch, etc.
She is doing so incredibly well! She can write again. She can think independently. She knows what day and date it is (a HUGE improvement from three weeks ago when she was writing checks for 1989). Her biggest personal concern now is how her hair looks, lol.
McKenna said he wants an MRI done in 6 weeks, with a follup visit to see what they will do about the tumor if anything at all. If they do something about it, it will either be radiation, or just taking a small piece of the tumor out, not the entire thing.
