Update on Maverick

I haven't posted an update on Maverick in a while which is a result of 2 main things: no real news and lack of time on my side. He had his last clinic day back in September and his next one is in January. We did have an appt with neurosurgery in November with another quick brain MRI to monitor his ventricles. They remain on the larger side of normal but don't warrant any intervention at this point. He also had a sedated CMG right before Christmas to see how his bladder is doing in terms of volume and pressure. We won't get the results until next week sometime but the medicine he's taking appears to be helping as the volume was significantly higher than in June.

Our main focus right now is on developing some core strength to help Maverick sit up unassisted, roll over and eventually get up on all fours. We have an Occupational therapist come to our house 2X a month to review and provide us with good exercises to incorporate into every day routines. I can see progress already!

Merry Christmas!

I realize that I haven't updated in a while so I promise to do that next week when I'm off work. For now, I'd like to wish you all a merry Christmas!
