Another hurdle..prayer request

The last 24 hrs are sort of a blur. We took Jax to the ER at Children's last night because of vommitting, low energy and overall just not acting like himself. They did a CT scan and confirmed that he was developing hydrocephalus (abnormal accumulation of CSF that the body is not circulating properly.) We were admitted and saw Dr. Handler this morning. He agreed that it was time to proceed with the shunt surgery. The surgery was completed at approx. 6:10pm with 3 incisions and a shunt inserted behind his left ear. The doc said it went well. The initial recovery is always a hard time due to the time it takes for Jax to adjust. He is nauseous tonight and sleepy.

We knew when we decided on the hemispherectomy that hydrocephalus was one of the risk factors. I guess deep down we were hoping we wouldn't have to worry about it. Our angel has been through so much in such a short time.

Please say a prayer for a seamless recovery which includes no infection and no malfunction!! And that our boy gets back to his spunky self soon.

Brendan has been so loving and patient. I know he is anxious for brother to get home. How much we all crave to be under the same roof again, in our day to day routine!   

Here is a pic of the sweet boy resting comfortably this afternoon..
