Children's Mercy Round III.....

We are so blessed to have been able to spend Thanksgiving with our family. The next day, it was apparent that Nicolette's shunt wasn't working. We rushed back to the hospital, and Nicolette went in for three major and one minor procedures (e.i., ETV, CPC, Fenestration, and a shunt revision). 

During surgery, the surgeon was shocked and excited to see her brain "relax" and shift into the "normal" positioning. MRIs showed her brain had tripled in size!   Here are the updated MRI images; the left is post op and the right is at birth.

Nicolette is still recovering... but it looks like there just may be fewer shunt revisions in her future! AND THAT would truly be a blessing (Hugs)!
