Grrlhavoc Update:
She is in the hospital again. I took her in last night. Her family is in town looking after her right now so that I can get all of the thing that need to be done, done. She is going to be okay. A neuro-surgeon came in this morning to speak with her and explain the possibilities of surgery, and what exactly would be done. The procedure would be to put in the shunt to drain off the excess fluid in the brain and spinal cord, but they might add a valve to stop the draining when she is standing or sitting up so that she does not get the low pressure headaches. It would only release fluid if she is laying down. as of right now we don't really know where all of this is heading... but keep checking my journal for updates on her condition. I will make sure to let you all know as soon as I can.
