It has been a long day but Mason's surgery went well. Surgery did reveal that his shunt was not working properly so he changed it out. He also wasn't happy with the fit in his belly so he fixed that as well (so he has a little incision on his head and on his tummy). Mason was able to be extubated before he even came back up to the NICU. Atleast he has perfected that! He was still very upset after surgery because he was so hungry. You could hear his tummy rumbling. When we got the ok from the dr. he took 20 cc out of a bottle and then was exhausted. I really think he hasn't got any consistent sleep for several days. He has been more content and able to sleep better today after surgery, still needing some tylenol for the recovery from the surgery.
On the way down to surgery this morning.
As long as he continues to do well and recovers well we are still on schedule for coming home this week. I will have to admit that I am a little, well, a lot nervous. I am sure we will be good once we get into a routine. We better get some rest tonight because I think we are going to be in for a busy week!
Amazing news! I have been patiently waiting for you to post. God has been right next to you guys through all of this and he will be right there once you get this little miracle home.
