Neuro Surgeon Follow-Up

E. met with the neuro-surgeon today for his six-week post-surgery follow-up. Everything is looking good. E. is healing nicely, although it could take up to six months for all his vision issues to clear up (if they do - which they hopefully will). Like the radiation oncologist already said, E. will have to get another MRI in six to eight weeks. E. will resume physical therapy next week, and add occupational therapy to the mix too. He will continue to take Dilantin (the anti-seizure medication) for three more months. Then, if an EEG shows that he's not having any seizure activity, they will be able to taper him off those meds. Unless something crops up in the meantime, E. won't have to see the neuro-surgeon again for three more months. One less appointment on the calendar is a good thing around here.
