Week Five Post Operation

I have both good news and bad news to share.

I'm going to start with the bad news first. The swelling in Hunter's back is not getting better. We met with the neurosurgeon yesterday. He has decided that Hunter has to have another surgery. If surgery is not done, the fluid in Hunter's back will cause his skin to deteriorate and his bones will become brittle. They are setting Hunter up for an MRI. The MRI results will determine the type of surgery needed to fix Hunter's back. I was told that it will probably be another inpatient stay that will last about a week.

The good news is that the swelling is not slowing Hunter down. This video demonstrates Hunter's biggest accomplishment this week.
