This is the only way it would let me post :(

Here it is December, where has time gone. I just realized this a.m. I have not posted pics of our new home, where we moved to in May. I am really bad at blogging now :( Preston is doing great! He did have a cold, but other than that, he is doing well! We are so thankful for that.Missie loves Union Bible Academy. She has moved into the dorm so she won't have to drive 1 1/2 hrs/day and during winter it would have been hard. She loves living in dorm and having her friends there. She is in choir and absolutely loves that and travels when they travel. She is maintaining a B average, and that is great! It was a big switch to switch from ACE cirriculum to textbooks, but she has done very well. We love our home, and spending our first holidays in it! Will post some pics.

Update for Wed.

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.
