Lisa, Tuesday morning before leaving rehab unit...totally out!
Lisa is having surgery right now in Bloomington at Bro-Menn. She has "Hydrocephalus" which is a build up of fluid inside the skull, leading to brain swelling. AKA: "Water on the Brain". The treatment or the most common surgery for the treatment of hydrocephalus (water on the brain), is the insertion of a shunt - a device that diverts fluid from the brain into the abdominal cavity where it is safely absorbed into the blood stream. Though a shunt may be inserted in infants, children and adults, the procedure is essentially the same regardless of the size of the patient. I copied this from yoursurgery.com.
Lisa has been in a comatosed state since late Sunday night. She has been in a unit of the hospital called "Acute Rehab". We felt since she was comotized state we wanted her moved to the Neuro to figure out what is happening.
Lisa was checked out of rehab at 12 and in Surgery at 2:30.
Please keep Lisa in your prayers! Please pray for the the surgeon (Dr. Katner), the nurses and the whole surgical team. Pray for Dad too. He's really having a rough time today.
