Neurosurgeon just gave the OK for a second spinal tap. This rules out any major complications that could occur due to the swelling in the head, which we are thankful for!
Now we are praying that the fluid that is drawn from the spinal cord is bacteria-free. We just left the room, spinal tap should take about 45 minutes. Thankful that Kaiya is sedated enough that she will not feel too much pain.
Ventilator has been gradually reduced from 19 breaths per minute to 15, in hopes that Kaiya will start to breathe on her own. Another prayer request at this point.
We will send an update as soon as we hear results from the spinal tap.
Thanks, Mark
