Nolan passed the shunt test and did wonderful! Which is good but they are still sounding iffy and want to continue to observe him. Dr. Reisner said, Nolan's ventricles are slightly enlarged but not dangerously enlarged and his shunt is a little slow at draining but it's still draining normally.
Dr. Aguilera came in to talk to me this afternoon and talked about possibly putting Nolan back on steroids :-( I knew this was coming....
She believes he probably is still having some swelling from the radiation and the steroids could calm some of that down. We are just going to have to slowly figure all this out.
As far as how Nolan is doing, he's been sleeping mostly. He seems ok if he's laying down, if he sits up the pain comes back. So he prefers sleeping right now. Dr. Aguilera ordered a bunch of blood work to rule out low counts or infection and all that came back perfect!!
