So, our little peanut is holding her own. She spent 6 hours in the OR last night where her neurosurgeon successfully removed all of the blood and clots from her hemorrhage. She returned to the PICU intubated and on a ventillator. Today her lungs are "wet", so because of that and the fact that she underwent 2 rounds of anesthesia, throat surgery, 2 brain surgeries and had neurologic complications - all within the last 4 days, they opted to leave her on the vent for a day or two. M's neurosurgeon plans to replace the VA shunt as soon as she is stable enough for a return trip to the OR. God PLEASE let this be a successful, long-term placement!

I can't believe how much your little one has been through in her short life. I'm so sorry. :( I hope you turn the corner soon.
