Baby Eliza has been responding well to the ventriculoperitoneal shunting surgery, which she underwent three days ago. Doctors are positive about the fact that the size of her head has reduced from the earlier 47 cms to 43 cms, which is normal for a child of her age. However, what still remains a matter of concern is the high protein content of her brain's cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) recorded at 1174 mg dL. Doctors believe that this might block the shunt that has been inserted in her brain.

Neurosurgeon Dr Lokendra Singh, who had conducted the surgery, said, "The shunt has been inserted properly. The child is active. She is taking food and has no complications. Our only concern is the high level of protein in the CSF, and we hope that it doesn't block the shunt. We have requested the mother to keep draining the excess fluid at regular intervals."
