For baby Eliza Waghmare, Wednesday was a mixed bag. While the four-month-old successfully underwent a surgical procedure at the Cooper hospital to insert the Ommaya reservoir, which is an intraventricular catheter system used to draw in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a crucial file containing all papers since her birth went missing at the KEM hospital.
Baby responded well
Luckily, for the surgeons treating baby Eliza, the situation at hand was not as challenging as they initially expected it to be. Confirming the development, Dr Shashank Joshi, the neurologist who carried out the procedure which lasted over two hours, said, "We were able to complete the procedure, and luckily, it was uneventful. The baby responded well after it, and did not even require admission into the pediatric intensive care unit."
