I was informed a few days ago that Stephanie's shunt surgery is now scheduled for this coming Tuesday, February 12th. She's already had her pre-op physical this week and will meet with Anaesthesia next Monday. The paediatrician put her on antibiotics since he confirmed she also has an ear infection that has been perforated! I am definitely getting nervous and hope she can tolerate the miserable first week of low pressure headaches and surgery recovery in general. The last 6 days or so she is constantly saying, "Mommy, I'm tired", and will want to lay down in bed. This is so concerning for us and we wonder if her pressure is really high or if it is just her medication making her feel this lousy. I guess next week's implant will tell us if she gets some relief.
Stephanie is looking forward to having Auntie Karen and some family over tomorrow for turkey dinner and a great visit! I will post again probably the day of surgery to keep everyone updated of her progress.
Have a pleasant weekend! The weather is supposed to be quite mild for us, yay!!
