Jen just called.
The neurologist called and said that due to lab results showing colonized e-coli they did not want to do the reservoir today and increase the risk for infection for GiGi.
He went ahead and did a ventricular tap this morning and drained 50ml of fluid (roughly 1 1/2 oz.) This will result in a tough day for GiGi with headaches and irregular vital signs.
From Jen: Pray for protection for GiGi.
Because the fluid drained was clear, they now know that this is not residual fluid from the bleed, it is new fluid showing that this problem is not from the bleed and is probably due to her prematurity and that an area of her brain just pumping out extra fluid. Therefore the plan now looks to be surgery at some point to place a permanent shunt so that the fluid can drain from her head and be absorbed in GiGi's body.
Pray for Jen & Drew....the Lord keeps showing them His peace but they are exhausted.
They know that Satan is attacking but they need full coverage of prayer also.
