Hello Guys, to make a very long story somewhat short my son is having brain and stomach surgery this morning to replace his VP Shunt to relieve his very bad migraine headaches dealing with his Hydro Encephalitis. He has been mis-diagnosed a lot in the past few months and his neurosurgeon left the area to another part of Texas, his regular doctor moved away also and his other doctor retired and what we have left is really sad.

Numerous visits to the ER last year and so far 4 this year for severe migraines leaves us with the only hope of getting good help is traveling to the larger cities looking for a good Neurologist and Nero surgeon and now because of the replacement neurosurgeon and her attitude I almost had to fight with the doctors at the ER to get him checked out because the day before when he was there she told them to just send him home and deal with it because that is her attitude and he needs to deal with the pain and his mother and I need to give him some "tough love" so he does not miss more school. I have never talked to her before but I made the call at 8:10 in the morning yesterday to see if she could see him but the nurse returned the call at 10:00am and the nurse told me she is emailing and will call the doctor so she will call me back as soon as she can and the doctor finally called back at almost 7pm saying how she did not get the message and had a lot of bad attitude towards my son and his migraine headaches and headaches from his VP Shunt.

Trying to make this short, Jimmy will have Brain and Stomach surgery this morning to replace the VP Shunt as the ventricles in the brain around the shunt are swollen with liquid which is an indicator of the shunt not functioning correctly so I would really appreciate some prayers from my friends here for a good surgery and speedy recovery.

Thank You Everyone.
 
Praying for your son Chris.
 
Thanks Everyone! We are home.
I got a 2nd and 3rd opinion and had a specialist look over the scans and found out that the shunt did not look like it was malfunctioning so they decided on different meds and lots of sleep and the bad migraine headache finally went away.
Thank You for all the prayers!
