Hi! It's Melissa again...I just wanted to send out a quick update on Kylie's progress. She had a rough weekend with lots of low pressure headaches and all the NOT so fun things that go along with them. She was in a lot of pain that continued through the weekend with nausea and vomiting. We have learned that the low pressure headaches are worse as far as the pain level than the high pressure headaches.
Today they saw the Neurologist for a follow up appointment. He adjusted the pressure on her shunt so that it would drain less fluid in order to keep her pressure a little higher. It will take from 24-48 hours for it to help her feel relief.
They will leave for Houston tomorrow to see a Neuro Opthomologist (forgive the spelling!) that was recommended by her Austin Doctors. They will repeat her eye exams and test her shunt.
Thank you for continuing to keep Kylie in your prayers.

Karlie,
ReplyDeleteLow pressure headaches are just aweful! I am sorry I missed your call. Please try me again at 848.2509. If you are in Houston I am thinking you are seeing Dr. Katz at the UT Medical Hospital--he is one of two in the US that have treated many patients with IH. God bless you. Jacque Tate
How is Kylie doing this week? I pray all is moving in the right direction. You are in our prayers. I wanted to let you know that there is going to be a healing mass at St Thomas Moore Catholic Church on Sunday, March 6, at 5 pm. I will need to double check on the schedule for you if you are interested. Jacque Tate
