Miracle...

Home...Sweet...Home.



There is nothing in the world like being home. :)

Just A Little Bit Longer

We're just waiting on the neuro team to get here and release him...guess I better get to packing!!

He still hurts, but it's not fluid headaches, it's just a lot of pain from all the surgical sites and muscle spasms he keeps getting in his stomach which they say is normal when you've had surgery in the same spot over and over. It's like a charlie horse in the belly.

It is gonna be GREAT to get home. :)

Not Today

He had a pretty rough night, so unless things change dramatically this morning and we can get a control on the pain {he had a bad reaction to the codeine in his tylenol last night} it looks like we will not be going home today.
Hopefully tomorrow. :)

The New Shunt Is In!!

Surgery is done...it went GREAT! He had two surgeons working on him, one from the belly and one from the head,the both met in the middle so it was fast. If he is feeling up to it we could go home tomorrow!!!

Surgery Today

Kody's shunt surgery should be around noon. They are capping off his drainage around ten to force his ventricles bigger which gives him headaches but in order for surgery to go safer it has to be that way. :(

I'll update as often as I can, it should take 2-3 hours.

Thank you everyone for always being there for us. :)

One Step Closer...

ID is testing CFS {brain juice} today, everyone here including me have positive thoughts it will turn up just fine and we can move forward to surgery in the morning. One step closer to getting HOME!! :)

These are from two days ago when Kolin came to visit and definitely cheer us both up.:)





TTYL....have a great day all!!

Monday Morning

Dr. O, one of Kody's neurosurgeons came in this morning....

His CSF tested negative on Friday, which is great it means the antibiotics are working. Today they are testing it again, if it is still negative then surgery to put in his new shunt is set for Wednesday, no time yet. If all goes well, we will be home by the weekend!!

Thank you everyone for the prayers and well wishes!!
