Evening, May 18

(e-mail from B. Parady)

Found out more about the asymmetry in Sabina's bone flap. It turns out the bone flap is symmetric. The reason that her head appears asymmetric is that there is a loss of muscle. With hair and possible future plastic surgery like collagen injections, there exists the possibility for some rebuilding.

So what will happen is that the pressure in Sabina's skull will be monitored via CAT scan over the next couple of days and if there is progress (not sure what they are looking for) steadily till Monday, they will cancel the proposed shunt on Monday, and wait a couple more days. If progress continues, the shunt will be cancelled altogether.

Sabina looks a lot better after Dr Connolly adjusted things a bit after removing the drainage tube. Shelly feels a lot better at this point. Sabina was opening her eyes again as we talked.

My prayers are for my sweet daughter's continued recovery.
