Surgery for the Shunt is Scheduled for Friday

Dr. Prall wrote on Tania's chart this morning that he plans to perform surgery to switch the exterior brain fluid drain to an interior drain (shunt) on Friday. I expressed some concern regarding this invasive procedure to a nurse recently. She replied, "Aw Honey, with what she has already been through, this is nothing". The procedure is expected to take approximately one hour to complete.
