Change of Plans

Change of plans. The Infectious Disease doctors are concerned about the increased chance of the shunt getting infected after surgery. The neuro team and thorasic team are hoping to get me into the OR early in week to do a surgery to fix the leak instead. It will involve re-opening my thorasic incision and trying to follow the spinal fluid leaks path to the source which is probably at the front of the spinal chord. There they will blood patch and seal the heck out of it. Thank you for all your prayers.
