Surgery Soon

After a long night of Olivia being just plain inconsolable, they have decided to take her to the OR at 9 instead of noon. They never came in to tell me how her x-ray this morning looked, but said that last night's looked fine. The blood work they did last night didn't give them any information so they had planed to repeat it this morning. Because of her being so upset all night, they never re-did it. At about 4 AM they decided to give Olivia a dose of Morophine. That helped her sleep for a short time, but then she was inconsolable again so they gave her a second dose. The second dose didn't seem to help any. Since she is so obviously in pain they decided to move up the time of surgery. The plan in the OR is still the same. They will put her under and place the probe. If pressures are high right away they will just put the shunt in right away. If not, they will leave the probe in and make a decision about shunting tomorrow. I have been told that surgery could take anywhere from one hour to three or more, but I will be sure to update once she's out and back to her room.
