Day 58 - More Antibiotics

Day 58, 22 to go until the halo comes off! Three weeks until the CT scan, also known as The Scan! I intend to have slides of the scan up before we leave for Bilkmore along with the report. There should be no surprise on the actual neuro visit.

I still have not received a call back from the doctor that we were promised last week by the Neurosurgery Clinic manager. His office called because he's the doctor Jan will be seeing at the children's hospital. There is only one acceptable outcome at this point.

While at the GP on Monday for lab results, the doctor looked at the pins and decided she could use another antibiotic. Third one in a month! These are not great pictures but they do exhibit what the back pins look like. I have trimmed as much hair away from them as I can from time to time but it is very hard to get to them. It is even harder to photograph. Her hair is a little damp from just being washed but that is the best way to see the pins. When it is fully dry the hair has to be held back with clips to even get a look at the rear pins.

The GP also had some advice for getting through the CT scan, take a whole valium an hour before the scan. He said it would be a better anti-vertigo pill than the plain dizziness pills she has.
