Well, the doctors decided to send Sarah home this afternoon. We saw the doctor again after he had read the MRI and he said that there was nothing to be concerned about on the film. Since her white blood cell count had gone down and her droopiness was slightly better and they couldn't find anything of immediate concern with the shunt, they decided to go ahead and send her home. They said that there is no point in sitting around and waiting for something to happen in the hospital, when we can just sit around and wait for it to happen at home, especially since nothing may even happen. So, they are discharging her now with instructions to come back immediately if anything changes and to see the neurosurgeon in two weeks to follow up. Other than that, there's not a whole lot else they can do for us.
I feel kind of like an idiot making such a big deal of all of this, but I really did thing it was something bigger. I still kind of do. Sarah's shunts have a history of self-correcting, which is why I was anxious to get something done. But, I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. I am glad that she is ok, but it sucks that they have no idea what is going on. Oh well, what can you do.
So, thanks for all of the prayers and concerns. I'm sorry I made such a big deal out of something that, apparantly, wasn't that big of a deal.
