The fluid drains from Marie's spine and the nurses monitor the output. But Marie's condition worsens. She goes into a very deep sleep. I described it as a semi comatose state but I don't really know if that's what it is. All I know is the nurses can't wake her up. This is virtually the same as eight years earlier when Marie couldn't wake up after the doctors adjusted the height of the spinal fluid draining from her head after her first brain surgery.
The surgeon decides to have a CT scan done to find out what's going on. The results are shocking. Marie lost so much spinal fluid in her head that air rushed in.This has become a dangerous situation. The surgeon pulls the lumbar puncture out so no more spinal fluid is released. They can't afford to have any more air enter the head.
Oh my God.......I cannot believe all that has happened to her during all these years. It's like she was "sick" in some way or another during all these years.
