Update

We have not been able to keep her calm all day today.  She has had some unconsolable fussiness and crying.  This is typically not associated with this surgery.  We noticed some continual wetness from her head, but everyone just assumed it was sweat because of the crying.  Turns out, she is actually leaking from one of the holes from a pin from the surgery.

The pin used to hold head still during surgery pierced her skull (by design) but that allowed the same fluid that is pulled away by her shunt to leak out of that hole.  It's stitched up and the CT scan was negative for bleeding, but there could be infection due to possible exposure to bacteria.  We are doing a shunt tap now to test for bacteria.  If negative, 48 more hours in the hospital, if positive another week at minimum.

Prayers needed.

We are at Medical City Dallas Tower D Room 636 if you want to stop by and say hello.
