Update

After doing an x-ray and a CT scan the doctors feel that Max probably has a virus, thank you God. However, they are doing a spinal tap just to rule out meningitis. Please pray hard that the spinal tap will be clean and that he will suffer no ill effects from the spinal tap.

Apparently, it was noticed on the CT scan that one of the tubes from his shunt has eased it's way out of the ventricle. It appears to the doctors that this happened a while ago, which would indicate that his shunt has not been functioning for a while. I don't really know what this means for the future. I don't know if we will be able to act as if he doesn't have a shunt since it is apparently not working anyway or if it will always have to be a consideration. I only have bits and pieces of information that I have received through text messages from Kelly.

Please continue to pray for Max and for Kelly and John as I know they are so worried and concerned for their precious son. I will update when I have more information.

We keep praying,
Karie
