CT Scan Results - Thank You Jesus


This is an older picture of Josh at Seattle Children's getting his CT scan before leaving the hospital.
But about today - we headed to St. Charles and had a CT Scan done there. Josh and I both agree that St. Charles CT Scan needs stickers like the one at Childrens. I was able to watch the scan and have seen enough that I could tell the fluid level was right and the swelling was down. I was just about dancing out of there.
Off to Dr. Yundt's office. Who we all adore and are blessed to have as our neurosurgeon in Bend. One of the finest around. He was very pleased with the CT Scan and the healing going on. Both he and PA Scott looked at the "war wound" and called Josh awesome. Our battle now is keeping Josh down and not bouncing around and running.
What does the future hold? Well no more CT scans! We are to get an MRI in 3 months. We were planning on heading to Seattle at Spring Break for it - but Dr. Yundt shared with Josh that MRI's at St. Charles you get to watch movies - so Josh is opting for home. In addition, we adore Dr. Yundt and he said he would confer with Dr. Ojemann. Then we would head back to Children's for our 6 month big follow up.
So we are doing awesome - and we can thank the Lord and each of you for your prayers. What a blessing they are. Josh is doing great, and trying to get back into the school work mode. Monday he will head back with Mom and Sarah. But lucky him, he is only going to do half days. His energy level is back up, and today he actually practiced his drum. He is excited to be back at church and playing the drums this Sunday.
Monday we see the eye specialist and both Bruce and I think the eye patch will be history! Hard to believe it was barely over a month ago that we were recovering at Seattle Children's Hospital and what a wonderful experience that was.
More on Monday after the eye specialist. Have a blessed weekend.
Love -
The Henry's
Bruce, Lori, Josh and Sarah
