Dear ones,
My ventriculostomy was successfully completed by Dr. McKhann on Thursday, 21st January 2016. The surgery went without incident and the doctor was able to create a good cerebral spine fluid drainage path without the need of an external shunt which would have been a riskier option.
I have started walking around in the hospital with limited aid and continue to recover steadily to improve my balance and movement.
Meanwhile there is a huge blizzard on the east coast that keeps me at the hospital. I hope to be discharged on Sunday (24th Jan) or Monday (25th Jan) at the latest.
The results from biopsy are expected early next week - this will determine the future course of treatment.
Thanks for your blessings and prayers that are undoubtedly helping my surgeries and recovery.
Best Regards,
Hasit
