Hi. Its 10:30pm, and I've been here since 0530, so I will keep this brief.

Following a tough night, Lee had 2 operations today to plant a new shunt system that would deal with her low intracranial pressures and hydrocephalus. After the first one, over a 4 hr span, it became apparent that her special needs were not being met, and a follow-up surgery corrected that. Tonight, Lee is resting and seems to be recovering.

The surgeries today were very delicate; her condition might best be described as fragile... her skin tears easily, the veins are hard to work with, and the blenders harder to stop. I dont think she can take more surgery, so I hope this one does the trick.

Thanks for keeping her in your thoughts and prayers today... I will let you know how tomorrow goes.

Praying that the apparent post-surgical recovery of last night continues as actual progress that will return her to the slow recovery road she was on before this unwelcome bump in that road.

(((Gerry))) I’m so sorry the shunt ended up being required but praying this surgery will return Lee to at least her previous status. :(

It seems wrong to say “stay strong” when you’ve gone through so much already, but hang in there.
