Another Ventricilostomy

Spoke with the nurse this afternoon. There are two areas in Mom's brain that have fluid in them. On the CT scan they look like little empty spaces because they are filled with fluid. One has been drained of all the fluid. The other still needs to drain.

They are currently putting in another tube in Mom's head to allow this other side to drain. We will go check on her once they finish up. This will allow the other space to drain as well.

Keep praying,

Love Stephen.
