We're finally upstairs in the PICU. The MRI has been scheduled for 8 am. They are monitoring her vitals and all looks good, the reason we're in ICU is in the event the pressure in her head becomes too great the neurosurgeon could do an emergency shunt at her bedside. Basically, it's precautionary.
As of now, it appears the tumor or mass is causing the cerebral fluid to back up, which is causing the hydrocephalus. They have a special doctor who will hopefully evaluate her as they do the MRI to decide on the biopsy right away. The procedures will take at least one hour and once she's placed in recovery we'll be with her.
Updates coming sometime after 11 I would guess. Everybody, rest for me! Can't sleep.
