Avery's Family

It may be shunt time
Doctors told me today that Avery's ventricles are getting bigger and that next week they might look into placing the shunt. She will have another ultrasound on her head on monday, to see if there are any changes. I was really hoping that Avery would be able to come home next week, but its not looking that way. She is still having trouble with her breathing, which may be due to the swelling in her head. So bummed!!!! I'm not sure how much longer we can afford to make this trip. The hospital is a 45 minutes away and gas prices are not getting cheaper.

Sorry friend. I know that is disappointing, but it still sounds like she is making some great strides. She is precious! H
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about the shunt. It is such a scary thing until they actually have it, and then it's not to big of deal after that. We will be thinking of you. Have you applied for childrens special health care? I think they may reimburse for gas but I will ask the other moms for sure because we don't have it.
