The surgery is scheduled for 7/7 Tuesday at 1:15. It will take a couple hours to, yes, change the valves and put in all new tubing. The neurosurgeon is just so afraid of infection and wants to take all precautions so no more will show up. They are going to put the tubing by her liver since there hasn't been infection in that area. There is too much spinal fluid draining to put the tubing into her chest for fear of pneumonia. She has been an interesting patient up in Sioux Falls, no one has been around anyone with the illnesses that she has so she has had many doctors and nurses come in and check her out. If all goes well and she can start eating better, hopefully she will be able to come home in a couple days. She has been getting "fed" each night interveanously with the nutrients that she has needed.
Please keep praying that all goes well tomorrow and she will be able to have a full recovery and be able to live a normal life again.
Thank you!!

Cindy,
Praying for a successful surgery, then let the healing begin! Praying you will be able to be home amongst your family as soon as you possibly can. There is no place like home!
Thinking of you....
