Morning update on Debbie....July 6...8:30 a.m. by Charlie

Good morning friends.......Yesterday was a busy day for Debbie with a ct scan early and a trip downstairs later to try feeding her a pasty like substance to check her swallowing muscles.  She did well but not well enough although I can feed her light amounts of ice regularly, which she really enjoys.......as do I. All in all, she had a very alert and good day yesterday..........BUT............(how I've learned to hate this word)              
She had a very restful night with normal wake-ups for meds but this morning at 6 Dr Varma's team arrived and informed me the ct scan showed pressure build-up and they would do a shunt procedure Friday to permanently affix an internal drain to prevent this build-up again.  And we could not wake her up this morning, which is a sign of the pressure.   In the meantime the spinal drain is re-opened to relieve pressure and she should wake up any time now.   So friends and family keep lifting her up to our Heavenly Father.  He can take care of this.   May He bless you all.
