Home stretch

Yeah!!! We actually got the surgery today to have a new shunt placed. We had a really really bad (this is an understatment) night last night, but today was great I got here with Nicholas at about 1:05 and within about 10 minutes they were here to transport Ava to the operating room prep area. My mom was a huge help with Nicholas while she got checked in and then me, Eddie, Nicholas, and my Mom were able to have a little time together. After Ava was through with Surgery her Dr. came to let us know it went really well and he wants to follow up in about 2-3 weeks. We are hoping that we can avoid that dreaded "bump" this time by having her at the setting with the most drainage and doing a really good head wrap for the next 24 hours. That would be awesome for her to not have to deal with. Right now, I just layed her down and am waiting for her to stop fighting her sleep. hopefully tomorrow will go smoothly. My mom will come from her hotel room with Nicholas in the morning and me and him will head back to town for school/work. My mom will be discharging Ava and taking her home to her house and as usual, Ava is okay to get back to daycare after that. There are no precautions or changes in lifestyle that need to happen after these surgeries. We are on our way!
