UPDATE: Went to neurosurgeon today........NO SURGERY. He said since all he is having is very mild headaches and no syrinx that we would watch it for a bit. He said symptoms are either going to get better or worse. Watching and going back in three months for another MRI of the head and of the spine this time. Said because he is still developing it could correct itself. If symptoms get worse we go back sooner but he was very encouraging as of right now....definitely no surgery at this point in time. My son is extremely happy. He is able to go back and play baseball but doctor said to be watchful of how his headaches are after sports, they is an aggravating factor. Really liked the neurosurgeon, very knowledgeable, so it seems. Wait and see game at this point.
That is wonderful news Grifmom! I am really happy for you. Please continue to keep us updated on how he is doing.
Thanks so much Auburnm, I will keep everyone posted for sure. He is in such high spirits right now, he just wanted to be able to return to his ball team. He went to all the practices and missed the very first game, as well as two more, so he is so ready to return. Our family doctor told us to wait and the neurosurgeon said he is fine to return, he comes across as doing great so praying everyday that stays as is. Thanks so much for the support of everyone!!!
