Great News!

Kevin had another CT scan on Friday morning. The previous one was 2 weeks ago and the subdural hematoma had dissolved completely back then - this was the area on the opposite side of the head from the impact that had not bled very much but was most concerning because subdural means between the brain and the leather casing that surrrounds it. So that was good news. The epidural hematoma was still there but looked like it was dissolving. This is on the right side of the head where the impact was and epidural means between the leather casing and the skull. After reviewing the latest images, the neurosurgeons office called to say that it has completely dissolved! So they are finished with Kevin - don't need to see him back. Kevin now needs to proceed with the rehab doctor and therapists (which we are doing). Great news!
