Surgery to replace EVD drain line
Stephanie, just a quick note, This morning Emily had another CT scan done. Drs. decided to do surgery and remove the EVD drain line and replace with another. It could be the line problem or pressure increase. Emily has been vomiting today, and they want to try and place the drain line in a slightly different location, to see if this helps drain the fluid. We don’t know if her vomiting increase is due to a day and night without Zofran or pressure, but Emily is not complaining of headache pain, so maybe this is a good sign. The CT did show a small amount of increase in the ventricals. The Surgeon said Emily has gone this far so lets give it another chance. We are praying she will not have to have a permanent shunt placed in the next few weeks. We will know more about that, after a week of evaluating this new EVD drain line. Will give you more info later, they are her to take her to OR now.
