Jaxon had an MRI on Wednesday. It was a short 5 minute one. I swear it was actually like 3 minutes, but they got what they needed.
Here are a couple pictures.
This 1st one is from September 2011. All the white is fluid build up. The fluid is pushing the brain to the outside against the skull.
This 2nd picture is from May 1, 2013. This is 6 months after the shunt was placed. The fluid level has gone WAY down. Even the neurosurgeon was very impressed. He told me "It would have been easy to give up but we persevered" He said this a couple times. And he really encouraged me to show these pictures to Jaxon's neurologist.
We don't have to go back for a full year unless we have problems with the shunt. This is the best news we've had in awhile. Jaxon is really starting to progress all around. The neurosurgeon was also impressed with all the words Jaxon was saying and how well he got around the room unassisted.
What a wonderful Day!!
