Rafidia Hospital

It is 2 am. I wake up each night at 2am.  I take an ambian, then next thing I know it is 7am.
  Our Internet access has been spotty, but for some reason it's good at 2am.
Dr. Samar and Kevin, our anesthesiologist arrived Sat. after noon. We went to the hospital to round on a few patients there.  A child in ICU who had a brain tumor removed some time ago, was basically in a coma because of severe hydrocephalus.  He got an emergency drain that night and a VP shunt the next day. He was awake and walking and got discharged from the ICU yesterday.
  Sunday was crazy clinic day, typical loud, fast paced day in a small office with multiple languages flying around.  A lot of cerebral palsy, and some spina bifida, but mostly misshaped heads.  Here are a couple of rare syndromes we saw;

 Apert syndrome and possible Dandy walker syndrome.
