Anna is experiencing pressure on the left side of her brain (surgery site) and has a blocked shunt. Anna was swollen at the surgery site yesterday and seemed to be quite miserable. I had her checked out, but they said to watch her overnight. She didn't sleep well last night, so first thing this morning I called the surgeon's office. They scheduled her for a MRI and after a very long morning, she was admitted back into the hospital this afternoon and is scheduled for surgery at 10am Friday morning. Anna has had a shunt for a couple of years that takes the extra fluid from her brain to her tummy. Something from last weeks surgery has blocked the shunt, so in the morning she will have a shunt revision.
Please pray that Anna comes through another surgery with no problems and is able to continue with therapy next week. Poor sweet baby has been through so much and has not been herself over the past week.
Love,
Rebecca
