Helen has communicating hydrocephalus.  This means she has increased pressure in her whole central system because the brain isn't telling the body to disperse the CSF.  She needs a ventricular-peritoneal shunt put in.  The best place for her to go back to John Radcliffe because they know her but she will probably go to Southampton General.  She will be in 2/3 days.

Her GCS is back to 8/15.  They may do a lumbar puncture to relieve some of the pressure if no bed is available soon.
