Praise the Lord, Kylie is out of surgery!
In the last few minutes the doc came out and let the family know that he has put the new shunt in Kylie's spine and surgery is finished. He said that the shunt that was put in last week was not working properly, "it just wasn't the shunt for her." There were no apparent leaks but the shunt just wasn't draining properly. This let the fluid build up and create pressure and swelling in the spine and head.
Now Kylie will stay at Dell Children's for 2-3 days post op to recover. She will be in recovery for a while and probably not be back in her room until later tonight. Thanks for all the prayers....we aren't out of the woods yet but hopefully well on our way to getting this sweet angel back on her feet. God is GOOD!
