Hydrocephalus update

We don't really have any further information about this than that the neurosurgeon is supposed to come by tomorrow. We will see if we happen to be there for the 5 minutes he stops by. The neonatologists and nurses are pretty good about informing us of their findings though.

Basically all we know so far is the ultrasound and examination after she was born showed and enlarged ventricle but no extra pressure in her brain. So as of now we will watch what happens and come up with a plan - if any - of how to fix it. The neonatologist has said that maybe she just has a large ventricle. I have no idea at this point. Let's just hope that it is just some other unexplained anomaly and we can move on.

Medicine is great, but there is SO much that no one knows anything about.
