Mason's surgery went well. He has an Evd in place to help drain the CSF and relieve the pressure. His dr. is hoping he will be strong enough in 2 weeks to place in a shunt for a more permanent fix to this problem. The infectious disease team is going to keep him on 4 more weeks of antibiotics and continue to test the CSF that drains out of his head for infection. Before they take him off the antibiotics they will have an MRI to make sure all if this has resolved. The procedure ended up being done at bedside instead of down in the operating room thanks to the dr. It was looking like we were going to have to wait until tomorrow (due to being on lockdown 2 times today here at the hospital) but he came up and said if we were ok doing it at bedside then he was fine with it. They were calling him down to the OR waiting for him immediately after he finished so I really appreciate him doing this today. Please pray that this will help Mason and heal him.
