Mommy was nibbling on Grady!Grady is recouping from surgery. He began running a fever the morning he was scheduled for his shunt to be internalized. Guess what they found?!?!? Infection! So the surgery plans were changed to a new, clean external shunt. Grady is still in the PICU and he is still confined to his bed. This will lead to another surgery in about two weeks that will give him new hardware and an internal drain. After another two weeks, or when Grady is completely infection free, the surgeon will put the internal shunt back in. We may be in the PICU for as much as a month. Anyone up for a hospital turkey dinner? Looks like Grady and I will be dining in for Thanksgiving.
For now, Grady is receiving drugs to keep him relaxed. The doctor replaced his stitches a little bit ago. Looks like Grady has to have a certain material for his stitches or it will not hold. This boy has the sweetest and softest skin you could want, but even that can be an issue when you need someone to sew you up.
At least the boy is well fed and well loved. As we sit here, nurses, doctors and other very helpful staff members come by to see how our little G is doing. He is pretty well known on this floor, too. He must have signed up for the membership. Someone take his debit card away.
As Grady continues to improve, I will keep you all updated. I can't give you a picture right now, but check back later. I will add some when I am not at the hospital.
As always, you keep us going. Thank you for your prayers, love and support.
Talk soon,
JoJo
