CSF leak

Erik does have a CSF leak (cerebral spinal fluid - see previous blog entry for more info). We have an appointment next Wednesday AM with the neurologist to see what his next step is. It looks like he will have to have a shunt put in. The resident neurologist said that this is a 'minor' surgery in the neurosurgery field. If you are an internet researcher - you will find out that shunts fail frequently. This is not an issue for Erik because it will only be used until Eriks Dura heals itself. I will post more info. on the next surgery after our Wednesday appointment. Hopefully we will know more at that time.
