Today we went to Shands Hospital at the University of Florida in Gainesville to meet with Dr. Brian Hoh, M.D.
He was very compassionate and understanding to our questions and concerns.
He believes that Ananda is a good candidate for LINAC Scalpel surgery - a noninvasive, radiosurgery involving a precision exposure to gamma radiation.
Her case has now been passed to Dr. William A. Friedman within the same department - so now we're waiting for an appointment from his office within the next week...
Review:
"This is 7-year-old girl that had an intracerebral hemorrhage in May of 2007 from a 2-cm right mesial occipital AVM. She initially had the worst headache of her life, followed by lethargy, nausea and vomiting. She has since made an excellent recovery and is neurologically intact, and has had no further problems. She was seen by the neurovascular group at USF, and comes to me today for a second opinion."
