Just had a smiley meet with the surgeon. Tyler is doing great. The resident is finishing the dressing and in about 20 mins we should be able to see him.
The quick culture test came back negative. So it was a straight shunt revision. They moved the location of the shunt to a right front top location. So the cathider and and the valve were replaced despite seeing no malfunction when they moved the shunt location. They patched the old hole up with hopes that his body will naturally fill in with bone. Hopefully this will be the last of his shunt bump.
