Hydrocephalus worse

Yep. Confirmed worsening so they will do lumbar punctures (spinal taps) twice daily to help remove excess fluid on the brain ventricles. This is a temporary step & if it works she may not need any further treatment such as a shunt or reservoir, stats show 30% don't need further treatment & clot in there will dissolve. This is our hope! Prayers specifically for this to resolve. Patience.

She is such a beautiful little Bella bird.
