So Jake made it though his surgery wonderfully today. He was sleep most of the afternoon, but gave mom a smile right before she left. He seems to be mostly his self this evening. The shunt is on the right side of his head, and only a small incision shows the "war wound." Under the skin there is a bump almost like a little worm about 2 cm long on the head and that is all you can see. There's also a small wound on his tummy where they coil a yard of tubing so he can grow and hopefully never need another procedure. Hopefully, God willing.
Kev is staying the night with Jake. It was harder on me than I thought it would be today. Guess when its your own child in pain and discomfort it pulls your heart strings. I'm going to get a nights sleep by myself, and already I'm lonely for my men. Their in good care with the nurses so I should rest well.
Again God has shown his grace in walking us through another journey. We feel so blessed to have him holding our hands and comforting. Thanks to Him for guiding the surgeons hands during the procedure, for giving the nurses the knowledge to care for him, and for providing us with loving supports from all sides.
Goodnight.
