So now we're waiting...for the drip to stop! It's slowed WAY down - maybe 6 drips today. Tomorrow the neurological surgeon comes to evaluate and actually try to get it to drip. If it drips, we stay all weekend, if it doesn't, we go HOME!!!
Please don't drip. Please don't drip. My friends tonight brought up the idea of sticking something up there so it won't (as a joke of course).
So if it drips, we reevaluate on Monday. If it's still dripping, then they do a ct scan to figure out exactly where the drip is coming from and surgically fix it. This would be a bummer!!! Of course we just want what's best for Isaac. The concern with the leak is not really that it's leaking but that if something is leaking out, then bacteria could get in. Huge infection risk.
It has been determined that he will do outpatient rehab down in Olympia. Wahoo! Not sure what the frequency will be yet. In a way I'm scared to go home. Then his care is all up to me and he's moving a lot. I will need to be on top of his every move. Another bonk on his head would be awful. As time passes, we'll get a better idea of how long 1:1 care will be required...

Please don`t drip ,please don`t drip. I got a kick out of that.Glad to get the news that you may be going home. We`ll pray for that. Outpatient does sound good but is a lot of responsability. You`ll do just fine. I need to get on google eartf and call Johnny (dad) to you and figure out the geographics of all this.
love and prayers always
Ronnie and Vickie
I know you are excited you can go home instead of to Seattle, it will be so much easier on Mom and Dad.
I truly believe all the prayers for Isaac have helped so much and am truly amazed that he has come through all of this so well.
Sydney will be happy to have you home again soon. I agree with Ronnie, you will do just fine Rebecca.
