Niamh woke up on Saturday morning, very happy and with bump still very visible on her head. An hour later, Emilie made a very loud noise with a toy which made Niamh jump a little. Within 5 minutes, the bump on her head had disappeared and hasn't come back, ie. the fluid has moved from there.
Niamh also has made great progress this weekend, more talking, some great standing and crawling, lots of laughing. She hasn't wanted to sleep in the afternoons, doesn't want to miss out on anything. She has been doing great with her food too. So no signs of underdrainage or overdrainage of fluid.
We are totally confused. Was there a blockage and the 'loud noise' jump unblocked it? Is there still fluid under the skull or has it gone too? What is going on?
We can't help but hope that the surgeons will have a rethink about the surgery tomorrow. Could she get away without another shunt for now anyway?
Whilst hoping, we are still all packed for another week on Ward 10 and prepared for a shunt surgery tomorrow or Wednesday.
