Srikar was acting all weird from last evening. first his eyes went all the way up and he was shaking and moaning. We let the nurse know about this. After 30 mins or so, his heart beat went all the way up to 205 and his left hand was doing weird things. It lasted for few minutes, and this continued every few minutes. They him two doses of Ataven, and also IV depakote,but the seizures did not stop immediately. he was hitting the bed with his right leg and his left leg was in the air, and his left hand was doing weird things. He was seizing continuously for 30 mins. They checked his shunt, and told us the pressure is not too high, and we asked them to tap it. We came to know that he has an infection, and were moved to PICU around midnight. He slept for few hours and was on antibiotics. Today morning his pupils weren't reacting and he wasn't gagging or coughing when the doctor pressured his tongue. They tapped the shunt today morning, but couldn't get any fluid. They think the shunt might be clogged and right now they are putting Srikar on breathing tube and are getting an emergency CT scan. The plan is to take off the shunt today and treat the infection.
We will update once we talk to the neurosurgeon.
