Today we went to the neurologist with Anna. She had been going down hill since Saturday. We determined that her shunt was working correctly but the pressure was too low. So with the help of the "Magnetic Doughnut" we raised her pressure to a normal level. When they replaced the shunt catheter during surgery, they didn't adjust the setting. We had a situation where too much fluid was draining, now that the shunt was unclogged. Over the next few days the pressure in her head should raise and we should see some improvement in the way she feels.
Emily ate her first real meal with the family on Monday. It was Meatball Soup. We had to adjust the recipe a little to accommodate her tummy, but it still tasted fine and she seemed to enjoy it.
