Waiting

More waiting.  Paton was scheduled to be released today, but he developed some sort of bowel issue.  We are currently waiting for a pediatric surgeon to come take a look at it.  We still hope to go home tonight.  We'll see.  Also, we got a name for the fluid-filled sack that kept growing on Paton's back.  They call it a pseudo-myelomeningocele.  It is basically a "pop-off valve" for the spinal fluid that would have built up in the head.  Thankfully, since they placed the shunt the sack on the back has not continued to grow.  It might actually have been a blessing, since it kept any pressure from being put on the brain.

Well, hopefully we'll all be at home together tonight!
