Back in the Hospital

This is Craig writing this update. Starting at midnight, Dalton started complaining about his head hurting. Typically, he has done this only when CSF fluid was building up. The installation of the shunt last Saturday was supposed to relieve that pressure on a continual basis. It is well known that shunts malfunction and have to be repaired. It looks like Dalton's is already in need of repair. At 3am, still complaining of his head hurting, he started vomiting. Shannon rushed him to the ER. They are about to go in and manually drain the shunt at the valve location behind his ear. They will have to decide if surgery is needed to fix the shunt. Of course, our favorite neurosurgeron is still out of the country. Looks like they will be admitting him into the hospital. Who knows for how long.
