Back home for now

Waiting before surgery...he was breathing really well without his oxygen. Silly boy pulled it off his face.

So Mason got discharged from the hospital today and on our way home we noticed that the top of his shunt was leaking again (where the new incision is). So we pulled over to make a detour and called the hospital back. Neurosurgery said to watch it and keep him upright for 48 hours and put antibiotic ointment on it and hopefully by Monday it will be better. If not then another trip back. Please pray that his new incision and that this shunt will work. We are pretty discouraged right now. I hope and pray that he won't need another surgery so quickly after this one was done. Thank you for your prayers.

  1. So sorry to hear that it is already leaking again. I hope it heals up on its own over the weekend and another surgery won't be needed. Stay positive. Thinking of you and your family. Beautiful photo of Mason without his oxygen. What a strong little guy!
