Back in ICU

Throughout Monday Debbie noticed that along with increasing disorientation, swelling had begun where the tube which had been installed in Gerry's ventricule. She called the hospital and they recommended that she bring Gerry in... this was around midnight Monday night.

Gerry's surgeon, who happened to be on call, immediately called in his entire team who ran a CAT scan among other tests. Their fear was that infection had begun to set in.

Gerry will be in ICU for at least a couple of days as they continue running tests to make sure that everything will be okay. Gerry may need to have a permanent drainage tube implanted in his brain.

Thank you for praying.
