First thing in the morning

Last night Mason had 80 cc drawn off his head and was a new man. It was very short lived. During that time he took a bottle with almost his complete feeding and was calm and quiet. Today has been more of the same agitation and fussiness. He isn't happy at all and acts like he is hurting. His head is full again and he is going to have the shunt revision tomorrow morning. His neurosurgeon is concerned he might have the blockage in his belly that is causing it to clog but the plan is to just take out the shunt and then put in a new one. We should know more tomorrow but please pray that this surgery be a successful one and that this would relieve his pain. It is very hard to watch your little one suffer and to not be able to help relieve the pain in any way. This picture was taken last night when he was content.
