Amongst all this craziness we are in, we decided to begin a sourdough starter made with whole wheat flour to hopefully pass down to generations to come! If you are familiar with beginning one, you need to discard half daily and add half water/flour daily. It’s a process that our whole family is taking part in (whoever happens to be home). So on this graduation day, Chloe and I made pancakes with the discard! They worked out perfectly!
As we were enjoying the morning before getting ready for graduation, I had a conference call with Wyatt’s neurosurgeon and Benji. Wyatt is doing well with the drained capped off. Just mild to be expected headaches and the MRI showed his ventricles did not increase in size and no signs of hydrocephalus…. therefore the drain will remain inside his head as an “insurance policy” if he needs to be drained, but no shunt is needed 🎉🎉🎉🎉. We are hoping it will never be needed but keeping the drain just in case. Surgery will be tomorrow to remove the external drain. Also, Wyatt had a EMG test on his weak left arm. It was grueling - electrical shocks and needles up and down his arm to test the nerves and muscles. Wyatt was tough through the entire test and endured it with grace. It showed mild nerve damage in the C8/T1. No surgical intervention needed. It will heal in time- months and the shooting stabbing pain will continue until he resumes full movement and everything is healed. He is taking medication to help with the nerve pain. I’m happy it’s something that will cure itself and it’s not permanent. Prayers answered, please keep them coming. Now it’s time to relax and enjoy this beautiful day!
