The doctors put in a shunt today. Dr. Chen called to let me know the surgery went very well. He believes this procedure should help her be more responsive and recover more quickly.
In the next few days, they will put a feeding tube in Mom's stomach. They are concerned that the feeding tube in her nose will cause sores to form in her stomach or throat. This is a minor procedure and is fairly routine.
Will keep you updated.

Hi Steven. I'm an old friend from WOMS. I have been following your Mom's progress since the beginning, and am so thankful and proud that she has come as far as she has. Please let her know she has been in my prayers and that she will continue to be until she is able to be back home and her old self. She's strong and a fighter, and I know she'll be 100% again.
ReplyDeleteI emailed once before, but being computer challenged, it went off in computer space somewhere. So, I'm trying again. I know she is so thankful to have you there for her.
