As of 8:00 pm tonight, the vent in Isabel's head was turned off to see if the pressure will stay low. If her ICP stays below 20 (that works out to only 1/2 lb per square inch) thru the night they will remove the vent. They are planning on giving her a CT scan early in the morning (4-5 am) to check her progress. If the pressure is above they will likely need to put in a shunt (a permanent internal drainage line from her brain to her stomach).
Please pray Isabel that she would have restful night and her ICP would remain low.
