Hello Everyone,

Happy Holidays.
Sorry about the delay in getting the blog updated.
Kris was  moved back to Kentfield last Friday
after having the shunt placed successfully.
The swelling is visibly reduced and the doctors report
the shunt is functioning properly. So far, there are no changes
in Kris's status. He is still having sleep-wake cycles,
with part of his day having his eyes open, but still there
is no interaction with the outside world.His doctors tell us
they want to keep him at Kentfield for a few weeks so the
surgeon who placed the shunt can adjust it if the need arises.
The plan is to still have him transferred to Sutter
Sub-acute hospital in Sacramento once he is cleared to be
discharged from Kentfield.Thanks again for all your
support and compassion. It has been something
that we will always remember.
