Hi all...
Some good news to report...Chris is doing very well in his recovery. He is now walking unassisted on a treadmill but he still has to hold on. He is going up and down stairs very quickly now. His endurance has greatly improved and he is taking intensive PT and OT 4 hours a week. His writing is beginning to come back too and the tremors are finally all gone. He is networking with his friends again and goes on short excursions with them to Chinese restaurants, movies etc. He is taking the semester off from Penn State but wants to go back next term. He seems to be adjusting well to the new Chris.
He had a spot on his recent MRI, it worries me but another MRI is scheduled in 6 mo. The spot isn't in the ear but in the tumor bed area. I'm praying the spot will be gone.
He has anastomosis surgery scheduled Oct. 30, just before Halloween. The Drs. claim that the facial nerve isn't coming back even though it wasn't severed.
We're still deciding about BAHA. It could be done the same day but we may wait.
