We have a diagnosis. --Hydrocephaly. We are relieved. There will most likely be surgery to correct the condition--but one of the leading clinics to treat this condition is here in our home town.
The strokes also did not cause damage and are treatable --may even by symptomatic of the hydrocephaly...
We are not out of the woods, but we found the path.
We are and have been so blessed with so many acts of kindness and the outpouring of prayer. Thank you.
And, yes, Joel is home tonight. Eating rice and beans. Happy campers!
Thanks be to God that Joel's conndition is treatable and that there was no damage from the small strokes. Prayers now for the treatment to go well and for a full recovery for Joel. Prayers for strength and hope for Margaret and Joel as they walk the path to the restoration to full health for Joel.
Prayers ascending.

Continued prayers. My mother has the same diagnosis, but at nearly 81, puts off the necessary treatment.
ReplyDeleteKJ, I'm sorry. Prayers for your mom and your family.
ReplyDeleteThank you Grandmere!
ReplyDeleteKJ --your poor mother.... the symptoms are so very much like dementia, and the condition can cause physical disorders too. I hope and pray she will get the help she needs.
Margaret, you're very welcome.
