Grady did just fine for this last surgery. Looks like we have one more. Monday, they will give Little G his internal shunt back. Today, they opened one more cyst. Mommy and I got to view the last CT scan and got a better explanation of these cysts. They are actually normal fluid pockets that we all have. Grady's problems came from the staff infection. His brain 'walled off' these pockets which formed closed pockets. This is what the surgeon keeps referring to as cysts. He goes in and puts a hole in the wall. This allows the pockets to work together and drain, like they are suppose to. So, our little man now has all but one pocket working with the others. As long as he does not have any infection from now until Monday, they will give him a new internal shunt. So, there you have it. Five minutes with the surgeon and we now have a clear picture of everything that Grady has had working against him. As of today, this should all be taken care of.
When I left him, tonight, he was only requiring tylenol and motrin for his pain. There is a two inch incision from the top of his right ear, heading to the top of his head. It looks pretty painful, but the boy is a little trooper. As long as his belly is full, he sleeps, plays and watches his television. One of his doctors, from upstairs, came for a visit. Grady was talking to her the entire time she was there. He had this look on his face that made me think he was telling Beth to let him back upstairs because they were letting the little green men take him away too often. He is a charmer, that grandson of mine. He is already working on the ladies.
Well, I will try to get some pictures on here, of our precious little rock star as soon as I can.
As always, thank you so much for your love, prayers and support. You give us all the strength to continue through these days.
Talk soon,
JoJo
