Not the best of day today. Niamh's weakness on the right which had got better post second surgery seems back. Struggles to sit without leaning on the right. We were also concerned once again with fluid on the top of her head. One of the neurosurgeons came and agreed it had changed a little so suggested another ct scan.
Niamh was a bit scared at first but then relaxed and stayed still for the scan. She enjoyed her little walk in the pushchair holding on to her drip through the hospital corridors.
Unfortunately we don't know much. Fluid has increased a little so they will be keeping her under observation. There is no need for a shunt yet but is a possibility in near future. They would need her blood count to recover first anyway.
Praying that it all settles itself on its own as shunt can lead to many more pbs. The neurosurgeon consultant will come and check on her in the morning.
In the meantime Niamh is okish, had a good morning, not so great afternoon. At least she is back on food (low amount) and her diarrhea is less.
