Re-shunt

The shunt revision from last night did not take. The catheter is not in an ideal position when they looked at it on CT scan today.  So they are going to go back in and re-do the revision. Less than 24 hours and surgery #2.....hopefully they can get the breathing tube out in the OR safely and he can be evaluated over the weekend. They will be watching for signs that his breathing has not improved and that will lead us to a decompression surgery on Monday. A much more complicated surgery that might not fix the stridor but will keep it from getting worse and also decrease the pressure being put on his nerves.
