Surgery went well. Dr. W was able to remove all of Maia's old shunt and place the new one. He said her ventricular pressures were increased and was surprised that she was not having any symptoms prior to surgery. We were able to be with her as soon as she reached the recovery room and came back to her regular room around 3:00pm. She's tolerating jello and ice cream without difficulty. Asked for a hot dog for dinner which she will get. :-)
We have a great nurse taking care of Maia this evening so we are thankful for this. Actually, everyone has been wonderful with our sweet girl. If she is feeling all right tomorrow, we will be able to go home. Tonight, Mark and I are both staying at the hospital with her. Matthew is staying with Nana and Papa (thanks so much to them!!).
Your prayers have been an encouragement to us today and I know have made a difference! God's peace and presence have been with us throughout the day. Thank you!
So glad she is doing well!!!!
