Today is Tuesday?

  Loosing track of the days.  We started today w/ a 4 y/o girl who needed a crani for her very misshapen head.  I believe she was the one in my photo with Dandy Walker syndrome.  We started a bit late, but all went well.  During the case I went to do rounds on the pt.s from yesterday.  Taim needed more blood, he's the one in the pictures with his brain exposed, and Bailsan was still congested.  They stayed in the ICU and the rest moved out.  Luckily there were fewer pt's in the ICU today.   Our last was an emergency case, a newborn with myelomeningocele, where the part of the lower spinal cord was never closed, a kind of spina bifida.  OMG.  Smallest kid I've ever helped with in the OR.  Everyone did a great job.

 Fancy, light mounted camera to TV monitor in OR.

 First case of the day, not the brain side.
