Matthew ended up spending a month in the hospital. Over that stretch, he and Jane came to look forward to regular appearances by Kayce. The visits often followed a similar pattern: At Matthew's urging, Kayce would jump up on the bed. Then Kayce would fall asleep, while Matthew would stroke his head or paw.
"Kayce is about 85 pounds, so he's a big boy," Eva said. "Many parents have told me that his size is in part what makes him so comforting—like a weighted blanket. He'll get right up on the bed, snuggle in close, and give a lot of love."
When Matthew was discharged, he worried that he would miss Kayce. Unfortunately, his future would include more hospital stays.
A few weeks after going home and starting physical therapy locally, Matthew began having upper back spasms and weakness in his arms and legs. One night, he didn't even have the strength to stand up using his walker. Jane emailed Dr. Shabin. Minutes later, Dr. Shabin called to say that Matthew needed to get to the emergency room immediately.

At the hospital, Matthew had an imaging scan done to see what was wrong. He was found to have a broken vertebrae above the level of his prior surgery. Dr. Shabin gently broke the news that Matthew would need another operation right away. Jane could see how upset Dr. Shabin was, but at least Matthew took the news well.
"He looks at me with a smile and says, 'At least I'll be able to see Kayce again,'" Jane recalled.

“There’s a lot of really important real estate in that area, plus a lot of blood vessels that feed the brain stem. Additionally, larger tumors can press on the brain stem, which is what was happening to Steve.”

Having a highly experienced, multidisciplinary team is essential to achieving good outcomes, Dr. Arnaout added. Critically, Steve’s surgical team included Mass Eye and Ear surgeon Alicia Quesnel, MD, a neurotologist whose expertise is in conditions affecting the facial nerve and balance system. Neurotologists have highly specialized training in caring for complex ear and skull base disorders.

Removing a vestibular schwannoma while preserving other functions requires extreme precision, Dr. Arnaout said. It requires microsurgery—surgery performed with specialized operating microscopes and instruments—as well as navigation systems and advanced intraoperative monitoring to minimize complications.

“Vestibular nerves that give rise to these tumors are running in a really, really tight corridor that spans a short distance from the brainstem to the ear canal, along with the nerves that controls hearing, facial movements, facial sensation and “There’s a lot of really important real estate in that area, plus a lot of blood vessels that feed the brain stem.

Matthew ended up spending a month in the hospital. Over that stretch, he and Jane came to look forward to regular appearances by Kayce. The visits often followed a similar pattern: At Matthew's urging, Kayce would jump up on the bed. Then Kayce would fall asleep, while Matthew would stroke his head or paw.
"Kayce is about 85 pounds, so he's a big boy," Eva said. "Many parents have told me that his size is in part what makes him so comforting—like a weighted blanket. He'll get right up on the bed, snuggle in close, and give a lot of love."
When Matthew was discharged, he worried that he would miss Kayce. Unfortunately, his future would include more hospital stays.
A few weeks after going home and starting physical therapy locally, Matthew began having upper back spasms and weakness in his arms and legs. One night, he didn't even have the strength to stand up using his walker. Jane emailed Dr. Shabin. Minutes later, Dr. Shabin called to say that Matthew needed to get to the emergency room immediately.

At the hospital, Matthew had an imaging scan done to see what was wrong. He was found to have a broken vertebrae above the level of his prior surgery. Dr. Shabin gently broke the news that Matthew would need another operation right away. Jane could see how upset Dr. Shabin was, but at least Matthew took the news well.
"He looks at me with a smile and says, 'At least I'll be able to see Kayce again,'" Jane recalled.

“There’s a lot of really important real estate in that area, plus a lot of blood vessels that feed the brain stem. Additionally, larger tumors can press on the brain stem, which is what was happening to Steve.”

Having a highly experienced, multidisciplinary team is essential to achieving good outcomes, Dr. Arnaout added. Critically, Steve’s surgical team included Mass Eye and Ear surgeon Alicia Quesnel, MD, a neurotologist whose expertise is in conditions affecting the facial nerve and balance system. Neurotologists have highly specialized training in caring for complex ear and skull base disorders.

Removing a vestibular schwannoma while preserving other functions requires extreme precision, Dr. Arnaout said. It requires microsurgery—surgery performed with specialized operating microscopes and instruments—as well as navigation systems and advanced intraoperative monitoring to minimize complications.

“Vestibular nerves that give rise to these tumors are running in a really, really tight corridor that spans a short distance from the brainstem to the ear canal, along with the nerves that controls hearing, facial movements, facial sensation and “There’s a lot of really important real estate in that area, plus a lot of blood vessels that feed the brain stem.
