All week there was talk about inserting a shunt into Jhonny's head but nothing happened. Then on Saturday afternoon we are told that he will have to go for another tomography (CT Scan). About 6 pm. I receive a phone call from the specialist saying that they will insert the shunt at 10:30 that night. Why on a Saturday night? We asked for the list of medications needed for the anesthesia but they did not have it ready. By the time we received it we had to rush to find everything since most of the pharmacies were closed. He did have the surgery and we were assured that things went well.
It is not Tuesday. And guess what? We are scheduled for another surgery today. It appears that the shunt is not working. From what I understand the body is producing protein which is forming globules that is plugging the shunt. It needs to be replaced. This is little Jhonny's fifth surgery in a month. How much more can his body and head take?
