LOS ANGELES — San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow, the paramedic severely beaten outside a Dodgers-Giants game in March, is expected to have surgery to drain fluid that has collected in his brain, the Stow family wrote on its blog.
“His brain is collecting fluid so a shunt needs to be put in the cranium at the center of the brain and it will be snaked down through his stomach to drain,” the family wrote on their blog. “The abdomen will hopefully absorb the fluid.”
The family said doctors are lowering some of Stow’s medications in hopes of reducing the number of seizures he’s having.
Stow was attacked by two men March 31 in a parking lot outside Dodger Stadium. No arrest have been made.
