This morning we contacted Doernbecher because Ari has been waking up every 45 minutes to an hour through the night for the past couple of nights. They decided they wanted to go ahead and do a quick-brain MRI this morning to check his fluid spaces. The images showed the fluid spaces on the left side had almost doubled in a week and a half since his last MRI. We met our neurosurgeon immediately after the MRI and she indicated she wanted to do the shunt surgery today, not Wednesday or Thursday. As she turned the computer screen to reveal the images, we saw that the fluid had built up so much that it has caused a right shift of his brain. Our neurosurgeon indicated that this shift is temporary and the brain will rebound once the fluid is removed. We plead for your prayers right now. Ari will be going into surgery in about 2-3 hours. Thanks!
