My friend Chris is back in the hospital

And scheduled for surgery this afternoon. She went to the dr. yesterday, due to severe pain on her right side (same side her shunt is on). Bottom line, the shunt has to come out. It is causing lots of trouble, and her brain has healed to the point that if fluid needed to be drained, they could do a spinal tap. This is the good news. Poor Chris is terribly unhappy and frustrated. She is missing the first day of school tomorrow for her kids, and I really, really feel bad. Her dh is really annoyed, as his IL's are driving him batty - totally overstepping their bounds, bringing tons of people over when she is supposed to be resting, etc. I do what I can to help him, but sometimes I feel it is not enough. I'm so frustrated for all of them - please just pray. I'm sure she will be fine, but she is very upset.

Thanks,
Wendy

I am sorry that she is back in the hospital again.
I am also sorry that the husband is having to deal with so much. You would think they would let her be.
Hope she is better soon.
