What a night. After placement of the shunt they are trying to monitor every little thing in the PICU. Poor thing hasn't really caught her breath on rest yet. Neither have we. Late last night a follow up CT scan identified some bleeding in the ventricles in which case they had to be prepared for emergency surgery today in the event her CT scan this morning indicated additional or continued bleeding. Good news the bleeding stopped so she can now rest as much as possible and eat finally. Poor thing has vomited most of what she's been fed.
They've moved up her target date for the biopsy to Tuesday and at that time they will remove as much of the tumor as they can safely. What we've been told so far is that the tumor is overgrowing her pinneal gland in the center of her brain.
Keep 'em coming! All those prayers are working & we certainly need all the strength & encouragement. Thank you SO MUCH for every kind word & prayer & gesture we truly appreciate it!!
