Well, just thought I would take a minute to fill you all in. Monday, Grady went back under the knife to clean up the incision from last Monday. We got him all settled into the PICU for a few days. He did wonderful for the little procedure, but they did not like the outcome of the cultures they took afterward. So, we are now waiting our turn to have the shunt removed. One of the team from his neurosurgeons group explained that bacteria likes to cling to any hardware and they are thinking that may be the case with our litle guy. Grady is scheduled for surgery Friday morning.
Sorry there is not picture. We are at the hospital and can not put his picture on their system. I will add a picture once I get to my computer.
Grady is doing well. He continues to gain weight for now. Once the antibiotics kick in, we may be loosing again. He is still enjoying his bottles and continues to eat all he can get. Grady can have as much as he will take, but we stop him at a reasonable amount. He is getting comfortable with 95 to 100 ml. Pretty good for this little fella.
Well, again we are asking for prayers. Grady will have to remain in the PICU until there is an all clear from infectious desease doctors. He will have an external shunt and that will require constant monitoring.
Just know how much you all mean to us.
Talk soon,
JoJo
