GALAHAD---thanks for the web site----am sending it to Lynn--(and will check it myself too)--I also, would like to see Kait get to a clinic for DETOXING---but U know --we can say just so much

POLLY---the meds. are prescribed by the PAIN Management Doctor--and right you are ----thankfully it is NOT the shunt--requiring Kait to be opened up again!!!

That was a sigh of total relief!!!!!

Thank U all-----your caring is my support---

PS. now it registers---why Kait has had increasing PAIN--she Xplained it as *a bomb is ready to go off in her head*

Barbara,

Here's another website that might be of interest, it's called "Neuroscience for kids - Pain", and it explains why pain hurts, and how the body senses pain.

I certainly agree that while going through detox will be a very unpleasant experience, it's a heck of a lot safer than having to go through more surgery.

P S Don't be fooled by the website's rather simple-sounding title - it's not just for kids. The discussion actually offers a good explanation of a very complex neurological process.
