The CT scan showed that JT's ventricles are "swollen" so the ventric tube has to stay in for another day - but will remain clamped. JT will make the trip down for another CT on Sunday and the ventricles will be re-evaluated.
Now, are they "swollen" because the fluid is not draining down the spine? Or are his ventricles just normally that way? There aren't any other symptoms of elevated pressure - headaches & nausea. But, in the end, it's better to keep it in another day than run the risk of having to go to the OR and put another tube in.
Talk to you later....
