Went back in yesterday for a suspected CSF leak.  It is one.  She's under great care again.

Outpatient procedure this morning to plug the CSF leak (incision behind ear, fat graft).

Really want to get her home.

The 90 minute fat graft procedure was a success yesterday and Amy is now home resting and recovering.  The leak was active for the surgeon and he is confident this is it. 

Amy is relieved to be through that and to be out of that hospital bed.

Rob,

Read your other posting and wanted to know how Amy is doing?  Is the CSF leak gone for good?  How are her symptoms?  Please share with her that we're all still thinking of her on here!  I hope all is well!
