Alec had early eye appointment today in Ia City. They dialated his eyes and found he has cataracts developing and there is swelling on the optic nerves behind his eyes. They said a shunt malfunction could be the cause so they made arrangements for a Neurosurgeon who had MRI done plus x-rays. The doctor said tube draining from valve to stomach had fractures building up fluid causing pressure on the eyes. He recommended replacing the tube and a new valve asap. Alec went into surgery at4:00. It,s a 3hr surgery. Beth is on her way to stay with Alec in his room overnight. This happened incredibly fast and we are lucky that they found an opening for him. He will be back to our house tomorrow sometime and you can visit him then or Saturday. He will be inactive for at least two weeks.
