One step up and two steps back

Paul's headaches continue and have all but brought his progress to a screaming halt. They seem to have started two or three weeks ago and increased from the occasional headache to a constant one that he has pretty much 24/7. We took him to the hospital this morning so they could do a cat scan on him to either rule out or confirm the build up of fluid on the brain. Please pray for Paul that this isn't the case. The last thing he needs is another tour of duty at the hospital. Hopefully these headaches are the result of the brain waking up and starting to feel again. Rather this than pressure caused by fluid build up. We also got some good information from the doctor there concerning any further check ups and/or treatment. In fact, we learned more from this one doctor in 5 minutes than we have in the last 4 months regarding Paul's injury and what we can expect. He has an appointment with a neurologist on Wednesday who specializes in headaches. With hope, we will find a way to manage Paul's headache pain.

It looks like Paul will miss his appointment on Wednesday with the Neurologist. He has been admitted to the hospital for at least a three day stay. He does have increased fluid on the brain and they have to do something about it.

We will add to this post later as we get more information.
