ajm1571's wife

[ajm1571]

Some of you know what was going on with my wife but most of you don't. She had to have a shunt put in her head last week. Everything went well and she came home last Saturday.

Well everything was going fine up until yesterday. She started to feel sick and not doing so well. Took her to ER and they are shipping her back to where she had the surgery by ambulance. She had a CAT scan done an they are saying that the left side of her brain is collapsing and not working properly. Need all the prayers that we can get.
thanks,
Allen (ajm1571) and Amber

Alan, will say prayers for you and Amber. My pop has an unoperable brain tumor that is causing fluid retention, this leads to increased pressure that causes hydrocephalus. Pop loses all motor skills and gets real glassey eyed. When this first started and he got to where he could not stand I thought we were going to lose him. Doctors put in a shunt to drain pressue and all was fine until the shunt stopped up and condition returned. In the past six years he has had four revisions the last being about two years ago. It took that many attempts to find a shunt that worked well. He has been fine for these last two years and at his advanced age (82) we are happy with what the doctors have done. So just letting you know sometimes it takes more than one try. Again prayers for you and Amber.

***UPDATE***

They did spinal tap this afternoon. They are going to take her down in the early morning to reprogram her shunt so we will HOPEFULLY be home in time to spend a little bit of Easter with the kids

sounds like positive news, best wishes

Amber wasn't able to come home for Easter, but she did come home yesterday!! She feels a little better but looks a whole lot better than the 1st time.
