relieved, son relieved major surgery was a miracle, lucky break! Doc did not have to go directly into his brain and repaired shunt.
There was a break of the tube at the main valve and Doc just replaced valve and reconnected. No complete shunt system replacement, woohoo!

hoorah!
knows neurosurgeons are the best combination of brilliant, courageous, and egotistical. Rare ones are humble & down to earth like my son's.
