Hey everyone! Ok, so its been six days since I've been here in the hospital and it has been 5 days since surgery. Things are going well today (thank goodness!) and I met with my neurosurgeon's resident this morning. He said nothing has come back from the cultures as positive yet (which is good so far, but this slow growing shunt infection can take up to 7 days to come up positive)
So the plan is still to re-internalize the shunt next Wednesday again barring nothing shows up positive from the cultures and my symptoms don't get worse. If everything goes as planned for next week, I should be home by next Friday.
Thats all I have for now, I'll be updating daily :) Have a great day everyone! :)
