Neuro/Ortho update

As I mentioned, Chase was due to see the Neuro this week and we were seeing the Ortho for the first time.

The Ortho said that his spine looks great, and his hips don't look shallow like other kids with SB. She stated from an ortho standpoint, he is at the mild sacral end of SB. When he starts looking like he wants to try and start walking, they will fit him for AFO's (braces) and he may need a walker to help him out. Depending on how well he does, he may just need ankle braces in the future. I'm determined to prove them wrong and show the he won't need any!

The Neuro says he doing great! His ventricles were small again so she bumped his shunt pressure to 2.0! It was a quick visit and we don't have to go back for 6-8 weeks!

Next appointment is for his Urodynamic testing. Let's hope that goes just as great!
