Kari update


The first phase of Kari's 'new plumbing' went pretty smoothly, last night. She was taken into surgery 40 minutes early, before we could even get there. Usually, or always, they are running late, for some reason or another, but I guess the Drs. and nurses had plans for Friday night, so they hurried things along. Now, it's 4 days of specialized antibiotics, (Vancomyacin), to kill any infection, with her 'brain in a bag' as Kari calls it. The CSF is shunted to an exterior bag, while she is in the hospital, until her surgery, on Tuesday, when they replace all the plumbing. The good news is that she's doing pretty well, all things considered. The bad news is that she's in the hospital, AGAIN, for a week or so, just when she had started to get her life back. We all just wonder if/when it's ever gonna get fixed. Sure makes me realize how much I love her, though I don't need this to remind me.
