Day 4

We are still here at the hospital. Mason has been tapped off his shunt every day in an effort to keep any fluid from coming out his incision site so that the skin will heal. The plan is for him to be tapped again today and then stop and see if there is any more leaking in the days following. If it leaks again then that means Mason will have surgery to remove the shunt from its current location and place it in a different part of his brain. He will also take the draining tube out if his stomach and put it in his heart. Because Mason has had so much surgery done to his stomach it may not be the optimal place for it to drain and be absorbed due to all of the scar tissue. We are really praying this works and would love to avoid another surgery if possible. I will definitely keep you updated in the next few days. Thanks for your continued prayers.
