Kevin's Acoustic Neuroma Story: Update and Photos

Last Sat. (April 10) we noticed that Kev had something leaking from a scab on his incision behind his ear. I kind of freaked out and called the Dr. He said he wanted Kevin to come up to his office on the following Monday so he could look at it. He said what I was describing was probably an abcess due to the incision healing from the outside in, instead of the inside out. Dr. Theo said he wanted us to clean it up and try to get the scab off and keep a band aid over it until he got to the office.
Kevin's mom took him to Dr. Theo's office on Monday April 12, and Dr. Theo said the incision looked really good (I'm positive it is because we did everything he told us to do).
There's not been much change in Kevin's face. There are days when he feels like he notices a differences, but when he tries to control his muscles, there is no real change. Something new has happened though...when Kevin is doing certain facial exercises, where he pushes on specific areas of his face, his lip will kind jerk up (sort of like Elvis' haha) and stay like that for a few seconds...and his (left)eyebrow will raise up and stay like that for a few seconds... It makes us think that there is obviously some sort of nerve reaction so that makes us hopeful that this is the beginning of him regaining use of that side.
