How is he doing? I generally worry most about infection in the first six weeks after a revision but something else could be weird. Did he get a new type of valve, change the setting, or some other difference in his system? Did you call the on call doc? My kid always has felt much better in the first few days after a revision (anything beats being deathly sick), later weird stuff like draining issues have kicked in. Glad you are documenting stuff, helps one see trends better (or push back on surgeons if need be).
