Shunt??

Olivia saw the neurosurgeon today. He felt that it would be a good idea for her to have inter cranial pressure monitoring done before making a decision about a shunt. The plan is to have her go in for monitoring on Thursday. Whe have to be there at 11 and they will start the monitoring at 1. They will already have the surgery for the shunt scheduled for Friday. If she needs it, she'll be able to go in right away, and if she doesn't need it, then they'll just cancel it. Since she's supposed to have surgery for tubes also, we are hoping that if she needs the shunt they can just do the tubes at the same time. At this point the neurosurgeon felt that it was about 60/40 that she would need a shunt. We'll keep you posted as we have more information.
