Update on Kaylie

Today we have been presented with another change of plans. Kaylie was supposed to have a new shunt put in tomorrow, but there is still too much blood in her spinal fluid from all the previous surgeries. She has also spiked a 103 temp this afternoon. Those two things together, along with the fact that her neurosurgeon is leaving the state Wednesday, mean surgery will have to wait until mid to late next week. 

While we are kinda bummed about having to wait so long, there are some benefits. If they rush the surgery and put the shunt in while there is blood in the fluid, they risk another malfunction/blockage and we start over yet again. If they wait until her fluid is nice and clear it gives a better chance for a properly functioning shunt, and we can begin the healing process.

Of course we know our Great Physician can give the "miraculous"ly (to use the medical assistant's word) clear spinal fluid and no fever overnight. We are simply watching and waiting on His timing.
