Just when her hair was starting to really grow back in...

Addy had an appointment with the neurosurgeon today because her head circumference has been getting bigger at a faster rate than it should be.  The sonogram of her ventricles shows that they're bigger than they should be if the shunt were working correctly, but they aren't as big as if the shunt were completely malfunctioning.  Conclusion: shunt is partially blocked.  And since partially blocked is not a good thing, it means that Addy gets to have her first shunt revision (date yet to be determined).  She's really not going to like that whole "no food after midnight" thing.
