My little brother had to have surgery :(



He started gettin sick and some clear liquid came up it looked alot like water and he would scream and say my head hurts. It happend like 3 days and then we took him to his pediatrictian and they said it might be from a virus that he had before but we didnt know about it but they really didnt know for sure but said to take him and see his neurosurgeon next time it happens, that was on Thrusday. and Friday at about 6:30 Pm lou started screaming again saying his head hurt i gave him a half a dose of motrin *he wouldnt take the other half* and he fell asleep.Then Saturday mourning he started gettin sick again and complaining about his head hurting so momma called the emergency line for maclanahans office and the nurse said to take him up to the hospital because somethin isnt right. Then at 1 he got a CT done and it confirmed his shunt is bad. So at about 4 he went into surgery and out by 6:30 he did great but he was in a lot of pain so they gave him some morphine and some other pain medicine.Then at 4 this mournin they gave him another CT and it showed it started bleeding today and if it dont stop then they will have to do more surgery. They are goin to look for signs thou. they probably arent gonna do another CT unless they really have to because he is so young and they dont want the radiation to hurt him. He got to come home Monday, Feb8, 2010 :) He was fine that night. But on Tuesday evening he started complaining about his head hurting and felt like he was gonna get sick but no visual effect. Momma called the nurse that night and said that it is normal for his head to hurt since he got 15 stiches for the shunt and to switch back from tylenol and motrin for the pain he also ran fever that night and the nurse said that was normal as well. So far so good :) PRAISE GOD :)
