Update on Maggie's pending surgery

     In the last post I was waiting for a call from the neuro doc's office. We received that call this past Friday. Dr. McLanahan's PA told me that they were sure the eye doctor would find swelling and pressure on her optic nerve, because of the amount of fluid she has in her head. HOWEVER, the eye doctor said there was NO pressure and NO swelling on the optic nerve. Maggie's eyes are right where they should be for a 2yo!
     As a result of that diagnosis, Dr. McLanahan said there is no need for shunts right now! Our next step is to meet with him on May 11 to go over any questions we have and then meet with him every 3 months to keep an eye on her!
     So, she may need surgery in the future, but not right now like we were thinking.
     Thank you for the continued prayers!

This was taken at Maggie's first time at the strawberry patch. She was not a fan b/c we wouldn't hold her the whole time. : )
