May 12 (update on May 11 request for Tricia)

They want to put in a shunt to help drain the fluid but still waiting on doctors. The tumour is benign and it is on her brain stem which is causing pressure on her eyes to cause blindness. She can see outlines of people. If it does not get taken care of soon the blindness may become permanent. They have done a spinal tap and are draining the fluid that way. The family and Tricia just want them to put the shunt in. They do not know what is causing the excess fluid. But for now there has not been much change.
