Jason was taken back to OR this morning to take out external subdural drain and put a new VP shunt in.
His subdural hematoma (blood collection) is almost gone and Dr. Yaun decided that it was safe to take out the subdural drain. His VP shunt was replaced with a new VP shunt.. this time it is a programmable shunt. So in case, subdural hematoma or CSF collection occurs again (unfortunately, there is always a possibility that it may happen again....) then they can adjust VP shunt's flow to help minimize subdural hematoma/fluid collection from getting larger, I think. ^^
Anyways, today's operation went well, thanks to Dr. Yaun. Jason came out of OR with 3 sutures.. one on the new VP shunt site, one small one from closing the subdural drain and third one on his belly (end of vp shunt). Hopefully, these sutures will heal soon.
Jason will have one last CT scan tomorrow morning and if this shows everything is good then he will come home tomorrow!! yay!
We pray that the CT scan result comes out good so he can finally come home tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteI pray that Jason has a good recovery. Although he has a long road ahead of him, he's a true fighter and so are you. Over the past few months you've showed me what a great mother you are. You're selfless giving to your family is beyond words. Continue to be strong! Will keep you all in my prayers!
