Monday's Procedure

On Monday Elizabeth's doctor went in and patched the hole in her dura. Which is the outer casing around her brain. It is the casing that keeps the spinal fluid safely contained around the brain.

That procedure went fine. BUT her brain continued to loose spinal fluid... at a rate that Dr. Harris was not okay with. So instead of her going home on Tuesday he kept her to monitor the fluid.
