Neurosurgeon Appointment Today

Tuesday, June 3, 2008

Cayman doesn't need a shunt revision yet. The shunt is still not working properly though. It's working just enough to keep the fluid draining at a very low rate without excess build up occurring. Dr. Maher looked at the back of Cayman's eyes to view the pressure on her brain. He said that if there was pressure you can see a dilation of the optic nerve. Everything looked OK there. So he sees no reasons to take her to surgery yet. So we'll just keep waiting it out.
