Yesterday morning Aron's CAT scan showed up with no new swelling, this was good news. However he was no longer responding to a drug named Mannitol to control spikes in his intracranial pressure. The next step was to lower the pressure with a drug called phenobarbital. This was not as effective as hoped for and the next logical step was a surgical solution. The Surgery was supposed to be for 2-3 hours, however the doctors completed their work ahead of schedule and the surgery went as planned. The pressure on his brain was reduced drastically. Now we wait some more to see what happens next.
These are all small steps in the right direction to get Aron back. Thank you for all your support and prayers! The response is overwhelming.
