Surgery

Cindy went into surgery at 1pm and the Dr. came and talked w/ her mother at 2:30pm. She should be getting back up to her room any minute now. The surgery went fine. The Dr. stated that the shunt was not working properly and now it should be working again. He never told Kathy what the issue with the shunt was. The Dr. feels that Cindy was also possibly dealing w/ "spinal tap headaches" also. She has had 3 spinal taps over the past month and he said that fluid could be leaking from the lower spine where the spinal taps where done. What they are thinking about doing is a "blood patch". That will seal up the area in the lower spine where the spinal taps were taken. They might be doing that tomorrow. They say that is a very quick and easy procedure to do. I am sure we will get more information tomorrow when the Dr. talks w/ Cindy.
