Tuesday Update

Unfortunately, we got some bad news today about Will. Neurosurgery has been following Will for the past few weeks with weekly ultrasounds. Unfortunately, Will's brain is experiencing some swelling in his brain because spinal fluid is being dammed up from the intraventricular bleed.

Will is going to have surgery in a few hours to put a shunt in his brain. It should relieve his brain from the pressure by draining out the extra fluid and help prevent injury. The doctor told me that this shunt will probably remain in Will's head for the rest of his life.

I will update later on how his surgery went.
