A couple people have (jokingly) given me a hard time for not posting more updates. "I want to see a new post every day". Honestly, there isn't that much to report right now. The way I see it, no news is good news. Next Monday is our first follow-up appointment since the surgery with Dr. Asselin, the oncologist, and she'll likely get Trey on a specific, regular testing schedule. More to come.We did meet with Dr. Silberstein, the neurosurgeon, last week for a quick follow-up. He was very happy with how things went. He did talk a little about Trey's Horner's Syndrome, which is what is causing Trey's "sleepy" right eye as well as his inability to sweat on the right side of his head. This was caused by the disruption of Trey's right sympathetic nerve during the surgery, which is where they had to cut the tumor off of. You can see Trey's new look in the picture below. He's basically giving you the eye 24/7.
Dr. Silberstein said that usually it corrects itself over time. It could be a matter of months or years. In some cases, usually with adults with Horner's, they have it the rest of their lives. If this is the worst that comes out of all of this, we would be ecstatic.
Bye for now.
