Monday afternoon, Deb had her 1-year follow up appointment with the neurologist who performed her brain surgery. Overall, he was quite happy with the level of recovery that Deb has made. That's good. What's not so good is that he said that the likelihood of any further recovery is slim. He said the fatigue may lessen as time goes on, that her balance may improve over time...but he honestly does not see the paralysis in Deb's face going away or for her right eye to work normally.
Of course, I told Deb that she is not to let that get her down, to make her give up hope....and that Doctors don't always have the correct answers, that her tumor was far larger than any of its type seen before so it may take longer to fully recover than is considered normal, and that God still has the final say in things....and He just might want her to have her smile back in time.
