Tuesday update

Well, Preston's external shunt came out yesterday a.m. So since his dr. was out of town, of course he would be out of town when this happened, his partners had to make a decision as to what to do. They would either put the external one back in, or put one inside. Well, he decided to put one inside. I was a little leery of his doing this; I felt it was too soon. Oh, I forgot to mention, this precious big boy of mine, tried to put the external shunt back in after it came out, and apparently the nurses saw him through the door and came in. Can you imagine???!!! Only my son would attempt something like this. He said he turned his head and it came out??? I was downstairs so I don't know. Anyhow, he came through surgery great and Junior and I bathed him today and he sat up in a chair for quite a while and watched "I Love Lucy." Then he started getting a headache and the nurse gave him tylenol and we laid him back down. Well, his fever was going up and down, and then he pulled out his IV, yes, he did that, can you believe it? And he seemed confused about it all. So they had to start another one, which we hated, and then transfered him from ICU to 6th floor in Children's hospital. I wish they would have kept him until tomorrow to be sure all is well. But they wouldn't listen to me, LOL. So!!! I and Missie are home to spend the night. I am washing and drying clothes, too, and it is so nice to be home. I hope to get a good night's rest tonight.

Keep praying for us.
