Weekly Update -- 7 - 13 April 2008

Yay, I'm 66 weeks old today!

Masinja had a pretty eventful week. It stated off scary when he fell off the bed on Monday and landed on his head. He and T.M.M. were taking a nap and she got up to go to the bathroom. Masinja was still sleeping so she figured it was safe and just blocked him in with the pillows. Masinja decided to wake up and crawl out from in between the pillows and go looking for Mommy. Just as she was coming out of the bathroom he fell head first off the bed. T.M.M. called me and asked me if I could come home early from work and told me what had happened. I told her to call 911. We didn't want to take any chances since he has hydrocephalus. He was a real pill for the EMT guys. They were trying to immobilize him and he didn't want any part of it. He went for a ride in the ambulance. He went to the Trauma Center in Omaha and they checked him over and released him after about an hour. They just advised us to keep an eye on him for the next 24 hours. Masinja had a pretty good bump and bruise on his forehead and the left side of his face was swollen. He had to go to see his peditrician the next day just to make sure everything was still ok. The left side of his face was still pretty swollen and his eye was black and blue.

Masinja also went to see his new Neurologist this week. She did a pretty thorough exam and ordered blood work and another EEG. She wants to keep him on the phenobarb until he has been seizure free for two years. He is scheduled for the EEG in a couple of weeks. We'll let you know how it all turns out.

That's all for now.

Peace,
T.M.
