Well, we are here for a while longer. Monday of next week they are going in and see about the internal shunt, to see if they can flush it and get it to work or put in a new one, etc. He wants Preston to have a few more days to heal where his incision is (he's already been cut open there twice) so he said he would see if he could get time in OR on Monday. So we will be here for a while longer. He doesn't want to put 2 shunts in if he can help it; as the more systems you have in, the more complications you can have. But when they get the right one working then will see if he needs a left one or not. Right now he has some fluid on the right side of his brain, but not much on the left side. But that could be from the drama the right side of the brain suffered from the surgeries, etc.
The child life dept. had a party for the kids today in the activity room. A baseball team was here and helped the kids make something and then they had a chance to play a game and get a prize, and refreshments. Preston really enjoyed it. The dr. also said that when he gets up and around and then has blood coming from his brain that it is fresh blood but nothing to worry about as it is just some irritation in there. So! Some of my questions were answered today.
