Dead memory **** Krystal

I told Krystal I would update everyone for her today.  She is finally in Seattle getting checked out:) She has made it to the hospital and her iv is in and lads have been ran.  She is waiting to have another ct scan (this time with contrast).  The nurse said she has a big lump that was "weird" by her incision.  She will get to see her NS today:) Let's send lots of prayers her way for the medical team treating her and or Krystal:) I will update you as she tells me to.

I'm happy to hear that your home and hopefully resting.  Did they give you any advice on how to lay.  I had a CSF leak and they had me lay on a 25 degree angle to get the extra fluid to go down and not stay up in the head.  I hope the best for you and I am praying this will resolve itself.  So happy to see your still in good spirit's and kept us updated throughout the day.

Just wanted to say thank you all (especially you, twin) for all your kind encouraging words and support. I am taking it easy and drinking lots of water. I have felt nauseated most of the day so Jake made me an english muffin and a pomegranate popsicle for dessert :) even Jade senses I don't feel good so she crawls over to me and gives me kisses :)
I hope everyone in our chiarian family is well and having a blessed day.

Love you all
God bless

  Many times they will give it time to see if it resolves on it's own...but, this is a possibility for any one of us who has this surgery.....

Each NS may deal with it differently ...but may will wait to see if the CSF gets absorbed and the body stops over producing CSF or if it was a leak, if it seals....

Ok that makes sense I think. My question why is she being discharged?

  This is a collection of CSF from a leak, it is a fake  meningocele, which  is a form of spinal bifida...this is a sac filled with CSF as a result of surgery...

If it was a true meningocele not only would it be found at birth with spina bifida, but most likely they would have hydrocephalus too.

Not sure if I am making sense....

To poster: thanks for keeping us informed. I've been worried about her a lot. At least she is in the hospital where they can keep an eye on her. Sorry to hear your not well either but I know the feeling about being tired all the time. I come home more times than not wanting to go to sleep and that's just from school. My hand surgeon is tomorrow and he drains me more than any other doctor. Ironically his the easiest appointment. Xrays bilateral yep have the xrays and than he says nothings changed and see you in 3 months.
