@Medicine Woman - I'm sure you're right and some epi probably coulda saved her.-
DS came over yesterday to show us the truck he just bought. He's such a sentimental person, lol. (Totally unlike me.) He bought a truck almost just like the first truck he ever had. Same color and everything. It's a clunker, and he's going to restore it. I shouldn't talk bad about it because it's a '83 and everything works on it including the AC. Pretty good for a truck that's over 40 years old! Definitely gotta have AC in this part of the world.
My goodness - I don't ever want to hatch this many quail at one time again. They make a huge mess! It stinks! I noticed that some of 'em were looking kinda puny and I think it's an air quality problem. I left the garage door open and put some wire on top of the brooder (so I could leave the top open) and cleaned it out. I moved some of the better feathered ones outside with a heat lamp on 'em. I felt like I needed to get some of them separated or they're all going to start dying. Can't have that.
Appointment today with the Neurosurgeon was enlightening and not in a good way. DH got another adjustment to open the shunt one more level. However, it turns out this is the last adjustment he'll give him. He says if you open the shunt up too much it can lead to subdural problems. He didn't really elaborate but he's said previously that you can't take too much fluid out or you'll cause more problems. So, this adjustment better do the trick. It's actually kind of depressing to think we've reached the end of the line for what they can do for him. Hopefully, this adjustment works well and lasts forever!
