Anna had a endoscopic third ventriulostomy yesterday. This should allow her cerebrospinal fluid to flow more normally through her skull and ease the hydrocephalus. The surgeon was very pleased with the results! In about a month, she will be able to have a cranial reconstruction. They will remove a large portion of her skull. In a little less than two years, she should have a completely reshaped head, hopefully one that is not as heavy. Maybe in time she will be able to sit up on her own. Who knows the plans God has for her!
She is understandably a little irritable today. They have given her something for the pain and she is resting comfortably.
I don't know yet when we might be able to get her home. We still need to deal with her eating issues and get her some adaptive equipment.
Thank you for all the prayers!
thanks for the up dates allowing us to "live" things a little bit !
