Kaylie will have surgery around 9:00 this morning. This is the third attempt to get a shunt in place and working properly, and they are putting the drain into the aorta. Please pray for the Lord to allow this one to work and be her final surgery! If it fails again they will make an attempt through the left (healthy) side of her brain.
Last night was a rough one. Both IVs in her hand failed; the nurse tried to start a new one and couldn't; then they used an ultrasound machine to attempt a vein that's really deep (Kaylie is swollen so it's hard to see any veins right now). They got it in, but every time the fluids were turned on she cried in pain. They ended up taking it out so now she has no IV to give her pain meds through. She is understandably frustrated and ready for this hospital admission to end!
