Ups and More Downs

Scott spent the morning in the ER today.  It started last evening when Jen noticed that he was beginning to regress again - she noticed some of the same symptoms she had seen in him in the few weeks leading up to surgery.  We now know that these are symptoms of increased pressure on his brain from fluid build up.  She called the neurosurgeon who ordered him to the nearest ER for a CT scan.  According to the surgeon it appears that his ventricles are still swelling from surgery and, as a result, it is impacting his ability to drain fluid.  They plan to keep a close eye on his condition and he is scheduled for a follow up scan on Thursday.
