Surgery Update

Monday, April 13, 2009 1:30pm - Sophia just came and told us that the surgery is going well. Dr. Morales has sewn in one end of the shunt and is about to begin sewing in the other end of the shunt. They were able to get a line into her arm - most likely by cutting her wrist to get to her vein. They will have to put in a chest tube to drain fluids that will accumulate after surgery. The surgery should be completed within the next 2 hours.
