New complication :(

Friday was the first office follow up with Neurosurgery since Jordan's surgery in May.  While Dr. Fraser said Jordan was his superstar and doing great overall, unfortunately there is a new issue :(  Jordan has developed a post surgical Pseduomeningocele over her sub occipital area.  This basically means that there is fluid built up under her skin/muscle at the back of her head.  He said that this could be the cause of her daily morning nausea.  So the plan for now is to just watch it because he (we) does not want to have to do another surgery if it can be avoided. He gave her some things he wants her to try to see if they help with the nausea & I am to follow up with him next week to let him know if they are working or not.  He also is going to send us to a Dr. Patel (ENT) to consult with him about reconstructing the nerve on the left side of her face. He said that he wanted her to feel comfortable in her body! I can't say enough great things about Dr. Fraser, Lindsey, & that resident team! They are AWESOME!  So overall Jordan has done great since her May surgery but overall wasn't the news we were hoping for.  As a Mom I just want her to catch a break! 
I know that God has a plan but I wished he would make this journey a little easier on her! 
Please continue to PRAY FOR JORDAN & for our family!
