Here's an MRI cross-section through the middle of the tumor at the beginning of January. The tumor (the big white egg) hasn't changed since then but the hydrocephalus in the ventricles (the black space just above the tumor) has gotten much smaller - see below.
This is a video from the same MRI that scans from one side of his head to the other.
These are pics from approx the same place in Eli's head on Jan3 -vs- Feb11. They show the reduction in cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles (black spaces) of his brain over the last month since the shunt was installed to drain excess fluid into his abdomen and relieve the pressure that was causing many of his symptoms. The pictures look slightly different because one is an MRI and the other a CT. The white line in the bottom left of the right image is part of his shunt tube.
