Surgeries

Gage is in Primary Children's Hospital. We brought him up Monday evening. It's early for his shunt revision that was already scheduled for the middle of next week because the infected area started bleeding and we didn't want to take any chances. The surgery Late Monday night went well. They took out both shunts. They replaced them with external shunts-the spinal fluid drains into a bag instead of into his body. This is temporary while they do tests and fight the infection. Once the Dr.'s are satisfied that it's gone they will replace one shunt (the other is no longer needed-at least that's what we're all thinking). We don't know exactly how long this will all take. We're planning about a week.
Judd and Claire are still scheduled for Thursday morning surgery. They will both get tubes put in their eyes to fix the clogged tear duct issue. This is same day surgery, so we should be in and out in a few hours.
Thanks mom for staying with the kids. What a weight off our shoulders to know you're there taking good care of them. And thanks to all of you for your support and prayers.
I'll try to keep updates here so you know what's going on in our crazy life.
