The Waiting Game

Kathy’s progress is too difficult to chart at the moment. We went from Thursday’s high of the surgery to the low of Friday’s complications. Saturday we went from the excitement of being released from the hospital to a mixed up Sunday at home. So what’s going on?

This morning Kathy’s surgery incision is slightly raised and giving her lots of pain in the back of her head. She has a headache but we are not sure of if its source. The good news is Kathy is not experiencing earaches or ear discomfort after the shunt revision.

As time goes on, we can only measure against her earlier surgery. We are praying for no new problems. The big fear is the infection of the shunt and we defiantly do not want that! I guess were playing the waiting game.
