Well it's crazy to think that we are coming up on a year since Bill's first surgery. I guess time flys by when you're not having fun too. We got the results of Bill's MRI a few weeks ago and it showed that he had a lot of fluid build up in the brain, which was causing his shuffling, confusion in directions, and lack of short term memory to name a few. The surgeon suggested that we have a shunt put in to help circulate the fluid out of his brain. This will help him walk normal and start to get a better grasp on time and memory. So we are going to go ahead and have the surgery done! It is scheduled for Feb 16th and is only supposed to take an hour....which mean 6 hours Bill time :) (hopefully not though) Here is a pick of Bills MRI. The bright white area is the fluid build up. As far as tumor goes, it has stayed the same size since his last MRI that was taken in April.
Along with his regular physical therapy activities, Bill has been taking some swimming classes about 3 days a week to strengthen his muscles. Here is a pic of him and I doing some exercises.
Although we are dealing with this set back, each day we see a little improvement in Bill and are looking forward for this next surgery to be done.
