A good day.

Jake's surgery went off with out a hitch. They put a new tubing from the valve at the back of his head into his ventricle. This tubing is much longer, to accomidate his growth for the last year. The great part is that its the same size as an adults, so it shouldn't need changing due to size again. Also they put a different valve in that is for "adults". It flows more consistantly when lying and standing now that his head is fully formed (no soft spot).

There was a small amount of bleeding when the old tube was being removed, so keep that in your prayers, its bad only because that little bit of blood can clog the new valve, which they would again have to replace. We're mostly in the clear after tonight.

Kev's asked to stay the night with him at the hospital, so im off to my aunts for the night.

In one month is the peak risk of developing an infection so keep us in your prayers.

Ill try to write tomorrow!

Love,
Mel & Kev
