Is the best face I can put on yesterday's surgery. Unfortunately as soon as they opened up B they found something they weren't expecting at all, a white milky fluid below the dura(the thin membrane between bone and brain). Everything came to a halt as the doctors took samples for lab to check for infections and they cleaned out the rest. The only positive to this is that he has not been sick lately so there is some hope that the fluid will test out to be sterile and no cultures will grow, unfortunately that will take a few days.
The implant was not installed because of the risk of infection that would end up ruining it, so we are on hold so to speak until the infectious disease team can tell us how to treat the problem. It's just another hurdle, a temporary setback.......

At least they found those fluids now, if there is a brightside to this hurdle. Hang tough guys.
keeping you in my intentions!
Yeah Push it is something that could have and would have built up for a long time before it became a threat apparently. Glad they caught it now.
Thanks Spider.
