Ultrasound Results



At least she didn't have to get out of the stroller (or even wake up!) for the ultrasound.
Gianna had her ultrasound this afternoon and we met with the neurosurgeon, Dr. Pittman, to interpret the results.  The verdict is she has to have the shunt.  On Friday.  We sure hate for her to have to have another brain surgery so soon, but it looks like it's inevitable and will hopefully be for the best both now and in the long run.  Dr. Pittman thinks it will help her have more energy, will let her brain grow without the pressure of the fluid building up, and may even help her eyes to be more focused.
