Friday morning we got the results we had been praying for!! His scans are normal and he is clear!! Praise God!
Trent's neurologist said it is still not clear what happened but it was probably what is called a cavernoma or cavernous malformation of the brain. To read more about this click here http://brainavm.oci.utoronto.ca/malformations/Cavernomas_index.htm
We asked him what are the chances it could happen again and he couldn't tell us but he reassured us his scans are clear now. In 3 months we will see him again for a follow-up but no scans, and next May (a year from when it happened) we will do another MRI.
He told Trent he is free to be a normal kid again!!!! Trent did a fist pump and said, "YES!!!!!!!" Charly and I both took a deep breath!
After meeting up with one of our favorite PICU nurses and running a few errands we headed home packed up the camper and headed off for a little family getaway!! Trent got to run, jump, wrestle with his siblings and swim underwater! We had a great time!
We feel incredibly blessed by all the prayers, love and support from our family and friends! Thank you all so much! We would not be where we are today without all of you!
Love,
Shelby
