screening!

Yesterday Jaxson had his Baclofen screening.It is a test they do by putting baclofen(muscle relaxer) directly in spine by lumbar puncture.It goes to the brarn and works on his hightone .The whole idea of this test is to see if he would be a candidate for a baclofen pump to be placed.The pump distributes the medicine better then giving it orally.It also takes less medication in the pump.Jaxson did wonderful during this test .I have never seen his legs so relaxed ever!We are now awaiting for an appointment with the nuerosurgeon so he can proceed with the surgery to get the pump in place.I am happy for Jaxson!He wont be in near the pain he is now with his tight muscles.Our goal is for him to be able to use his hands and arms as well as get loose enough to have surgery to fix his dislocated ankle.The orthopedic doctor will not fix Jaxsons ankle or hip until we get the tone under control.Praying this all happens quickly.would love to see my angel be more comfortable in time for Christmas.That would be the best gift of all!
