After receiving the news that Juddah could not have surgery in Seattle we left and headed straight to VA so Juddah could receive his 3rd surgery at Carilion to try and relieve the spinal fluid that is collecting between his skull and skin... His surgery is scheduled to start at 7:30 tomorrow morning. This is the surgery that we were trying to avoid, but the other options just have not worked for Juddah and now he must have a shunt placed to drain the fluid. He has remained happy the past few days, but developed a reaction to the seizure medication he has been on.. he developed an itchy rash all over his body and that has caused him to have a couple of bouts of fussiness... you can tell that's what is bothering him because he starts scratching at his tummy and wiggling around like he is trying to scratch his back. He is covered with topical benedryl from tummy to toes to try and relieve the symptoms and when his surgeon saw him, she decided to discontinue his current meds, and will start him on a new one post surgery. Thank you so much for you continued prayers, will post again after surgery tomorrow with another update. Love to you all.
