Update on Ad

Ad is doing great. The stitches came out a couple of weeks ago and the little scar by her eye is healing up nicely. Last Tuesday we took her in for her second CAT scan. Everything looked great, well, except for a hunk of metal stuck up in the nasal passage. Upon the advice of the Doctor we are leaving it in for the time being. The body has probably started to seal it off with a fibrous tissue. Because of the way it is situated there doesn’t seem to be too much chance of it migrating. The doctor believes it may cause more harm and trauma to take it out at this point. So unless she develops allergies or a plethora of sinus infections we are leaving it in. We do have another CAT scan scheduled in three months just to check everything.

Due to some questions I should mention that piece of casing is in her nasal passage behind the nose, not in her nostril or any wear you can see it. She plays and acts her normal little self.

If you click on her picture you can see the small scar below her left eye.
