Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Maddy's surgery took about 90 min. He removed the shunt assist (anti-syphon device) and put in smaller in diameter tubing. He said if her subtemporal site starts to bulge out he will need to intervene.Last time they completely removed her anti syphon device,she was very sick after about 24 hrs. SHe has been walking around but complains alot that her head hurts alot.She has remained very sunken since surgery about 14 hrs ago. She has had ALOT of pain. She is on iv morphine,the lortab wasnt even touching the pain. Her pain is her head,but not at surgical site. The headache has returned,as well as her leg,neck,lower back and arm pain. The put Maddy on a different floor,due to no room but the floor is for oncology patients,so she cant leave the floor and no one can visit except me,my hubby or mom. Maddy also went from a private room to one with a 3 yr old in a crib.Please keep Maddy in your prayers. Im praying he figures this out soon.I know in my gut she has an occult tethered cord. I refuse to take her home unless I feel in my gut she is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
