Alison had her follow-up CT-scan today. Even though the scan only took 2 minutes, we had to sedate her because there was no way she would hold still for that long. She did great...slept through the whole thing, even when we had to rearrange her because the lead apron she was laying on was up too high. Kevin was able to watch over the tech's shoulder (while I was in with Alison) and he said that, to him, everything looked good. Her ventricles are still larger than normal, which is to be expected, but are much smaller than they were before and the brain matter around the ventricles is substantially larger than it was before. We'll know exactly how things stand once her surgeon looks at the films and we have a chance to meet with him, but things are looking pretty good.
