mommy =)

OK. so in the midst of being at the hospital & being dizzy and all, the doctor [a hospitalist] saw on the CT scan a bunch of sinus fluid stopped up in her maxilary sinus, which is right under the eye. My daddy THEN had the idea to call in his ENT [ear, nose, and throat] specalist that had done surgery on him, to look at the sinus caviaties and see what was going on. so daddy had hte nurse call her at 7PM, and the doctor was there by 9 PM. she wanted to see more, so she scheduled more CT Scans for the next day. so mom had more done the next day, and the doctor told mom to come in when she was feeling better and they'd discuss it. so mom & dad went in yesterday, and they looked at the scans. the screws and titanium that is in her brain from where she ad her brain tumors are screwed into her sinus cavaties. the screw & plate in her jaw from her jaw surgery are ALSO pertruding into sinus cavaties. the piece of titanium, that is on her forehead, that y'all all have prolly seen, is DANGERIOUSLY close to the skin, and the doctor is afraid that it could literally bust through the skin. so the doctor thinks that all of the artificial stuff in her brain is causing all of her headaches. so, the options are 1) do nothing. 2) they would put a small camera up her nose, and be able to look around some, but you woudln't be able to see much. or 3), cut her skull open again, pull back the skin, and look around and take out & possibly replace the artificial stuff in her head. they kinda are suggesting option #3, but of course we are weary. please continue to pray for her dizzy-ness to stop, and for us to figure out which option we should do. thanks so much! :)
