I want my happy boy back so bad. Oliver hasn't been feeling good or himself for a while. Hoping to get some answers and help for him soon.
Symptoms: Super irritable! He's very restless, whiny and his appetite is off . He's just not himself. He cries even if I hold him. At night he cries/screams right when we lay him down. He shakes his head side to side. His speech has also regressed. Which really worries me..... yes I do feel like weather or pressure change and the smoke does affect him. But he has not been himself since before the smoke.
We feel like we exhausted all of our options here in Lethbridge to help Oliver. So we made a trip to the Alberta Children's Hospital ER. 2.5 hours drive to get to the hospital. It was suppose to be 30 minute wait but since our concerns are to do with Oliver's brain we got to wait right in. It was a long day of running tests. Blood and urine came back good.
Oliver got a fast head MRI. We were glad they did a fast head MRI and didn't have to sedate him. Nureosuregeon checked the MRI images. Ventricles look good, smaller than last MRI in January.
So we really don't know what's wrong, as all the tests are all good. Which is awesome!!! But we also don't have an answer as to why Oliver hasn't been himself....The neurosurgeon did adjust the shunt to 1.5 so it drains more, to see if it still needs more drainage than he's getting. It's a waiting game, to see if the adjustment to the shunt helps or not but it's worth a try.
