Faith's surgery on Thursday to repair the left side leak in her head went well. She has been doing fine since surgery with stable vitals, eating well, and acting appropriately. However, her EVD (external ventricular drain)/External Shunt is not draining any CSF (cerebral spinal fluid) as it should be. There has been no CSF output since shortly after surgery. They will most likely have to do surgery tomorrow to replace the EVD with a new one. Either way, her shunt will not be able to be internalized on Thursday.
