Good news!

The neurosurgeon feels comfortable with the size of Luke's pseudomeningocele... apparently if the shunt wasn't working properly, the pseudomeningocele would be a LOT bigger. Right now, because Luke isn't showing any clinical signs of shunt malfunction (vomiting, lethargy, etc), they feel very very comfortable allowing his body to continue healing. His head CT and x-rays from yesterday indicate that there is no swelling or pressure inside his brain.

Breathe a sigh of relief!!! Thank goodness!!
