Wednesday

I had the shunt patency test done today.  It is relatively painless.  Radioactive fluid is injected into the tube of the shunt in my head right before the pump.  I lost a little hair--they shaved about a square inch of hair off but it isn't all that visible just behind and above my ear.  The test was supposed to take an hour but it ended up taking a good two hours instead.  I'm not sure what that will mean for results.  I was also asked to be part of a research test group as they test a new way of determining the level of fluid flowing through the tubes.  I agreed so they did that as well.  We don't know the results of the shunt patency but we do know that the results of the second test was inconclusive.

I see the neurosurgeon at 9:00 in the morning and hopefully we will know more then.  I continue to pray that the Ultimate Healer will provide answers to the doctors for healing.
