Jamie and I have just finished speaking with Dr. Tulipan's nurse practitioner. The neuro team has decided that it is best for Anderson to get a shunt placed in the morning. We have stepped out of his room right now, as they draw his pre-op bloodwork as well as get an IV started. We have still not been moved to Children's hospital, but should be doing that in the next hour or so from the latest we were told.
We are okay- scared for our 6 day old baby to undergo surgery, but we also know that he is being cared for by the top-notch neurosurgeons and we know how many people out there are lifting him up in prayer. God will take care of him during his surgery. We know this is what is best. We still don't have any idea of his prognosis for the future, and we probably won't. But, the surgeons do feel that he will tolerate the procedure well and if he does good feeding then he could go home the next day...we will see.
So that is the latest. Please pray for the team of surgeons and pray that Anderson will tolerate the procedure well and that this will help him.
