He's Not even a run up to Inspiration Point memory KS? ...the hub and I got busted up there in our early dating days...

Seriously tho, you and your mom are still in our thoughts and prayers. That run between home and Reno gets old quick...BTDT more times than I care to remember.

I was more of a Top of the World or Viewland kinda gal. But thank goodness for online yearbooks as I now have a name. Outta my league.

Soooooo......They decided to not do surgery yesterday AM as the leak stopped. She slept most of the day but as soon as they had her up for dinner, more leakage. Now they are trying to decide the best course of action. Her platelette count is very low and she hasn't hardly healed from the original brain surgery 4 weeks ago. That is what is actually causing all these problems.

The two choices they have to try and stop the leaks are very invasive and they don't want to attempt either of them unless they feel they have no other choice. The Doc hasn't been by yet this morning so hopefully we will know more later today.

Ok - once again it's surgery. And the Doc swears he's doing it this time no matter what. Tomorrow at 11:30 AM. They will do both a graft from her thigh onto her head and the ventricular shunt (sp??). So we will see what tomorrow.

Good thoughts continuing for your mom, KS.

More prayers from here KatieSue!

Here's to hoping this is the last update I post from Susanville (not that I don't love it here and it is homecoming and all but I'd like to see Madz before she graduates from High School.)

So they did surgery on Mom this morning. They did two procedures. They took a graft from her thigh and put it on the back of her head to try and stop the leaking. They also put in a ventricular (sp?) shunt to drain out the excess spinal fluid so the graft can heal.

She will have to keep lying down, again, for about 4 days draining. Then they will clamp off the shunt and see if she gets any more leaks. NA is right - no more brain drain.

So once more, we wait.

I'm hoping to drive home tomorrow, if they can get my car fixed. My Aunt Liz is going to stay up with her for the next week. Hopefully we'll know more by the end of next week.

And maybe it will stop snowing so I won't have to put on chains which is just a total pain in the ass.

Glad to hear she made it thru the surgery ok KS...can you do the back route to avoid the snow? I know the 36 or 44 to the 5 sucks but it's better than chaining up.
