Surgery

Well, Ato T is off to have a VT shunt surgery tomorrow. From what I understand, the procedure involves making a burr hole in his head, then making a small incision in his abdomen, and essentially threading the shunt tubing through the two openings. Our surgeon does about 400 of these a year, and I have been hearing that the new ones have much less risk of infections and complications. But still, that's my baby's head you're drilling into! Please remember to keep him in your prayers. We were told to expect a 3-5 day stay. I'll try to update the blog from the hospital. Thanks everyone!
