We came to know that his infection is bacterial meningitis. He had a CT scan, and we see that there is fluid build up, and the looks the shunt is not pumping enough of it. so they put an external drain and also a small incision near his chest and took out the shunt tube for external drainage. According the neurosurgeon, pressure is very low, but doesn't know why the fluid is building up.
We see some fluid coming out from the shunt, but nothing from the external drain.
He is on antibiotics and electrolytes. He will be getting some blood also. Central line and picc line are placed few minutes ago.
He is on ventilator and is very very sick. Please keep srikar in your prayers.
