we’ve been busy folks lately and wanted to make sure we took time to post our stories, as well as all of the photos that document will’s journey over the past week.  we’ve been to the beach for will’s b-day, we’ve picked up lori from the airport, and we’ve spent the week at duke hospital in durham, and come home to get will on the road to recovery.  below is a photo collage of the past week.  we’ll get back to the written documentation as soon as time permits.

sometimes its a lot easier to understand what exactly chiari and syringomyelia are if you have some visuals to look at.  dr. lipton graciously detailed these scans of will’s most recent mri files so that we could all more easily understand exactly what we were working with here.

still amazes me how complex the human body is, and how all of this is normally perfectly functioning in most people. 

let’s all pray that the syrinx is able to dissipate itself very shortly after the surgery is performed.
