Back at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital

Faith was doing well at home for a few days.  Tuesday she became very lethargic, low grade fever, and not eating. We brought her to the ER and she was admitted to the PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit).  They will be doing a shunt study this afternoon to be sure her shunt is working properly.  They will also take a culture of CSF (cerebral spinal fluid) to check for infection.  That culture is checked daily for 3 days.  Her first shunt site is leaking again.  They are talking that she may have to have surgery tomorrow to try to repair that.  Prayers appreciated!
