Last of March

This will a brief update on Mark's progress. He started his physical rehabilitation at Neuro Specialists, but that had to be put on hold temporarily. He started having difficulties with headaches. They were reluctant to work with him until they explained his problem. On Saturday March the 22 Corale took Mark to St John hospital in Tulsa for an MRI. Neuro surgeon and other doctors examined him, and while they didn't reach a definite conclusion, they did think he should go back to Dallas. Corale obtained Mark's records and film and sent them to Zale Lipshy in Dallas. Their diagnosis was that Mark needed to return for another procedure. Mark will return to Dallas on Monday the 31. The plan is to install a shunt in his head to remove a surplus of fluid which is creating pressure that causes his severe headaches. Medical personnel at Zale Lipshy told Corale it is a procedure that they do often. Mark will be in Dallas for two or three days, and return home. Relieving the headache problem will enable Mark to return for further progress in his rehabilitation.
