Back Home

Ready for surgery in my pink gown. Everyone thought I was a girl.

After surgery. So tired.

Ready to go home.

My scar.

Good news. Vince was released from the hospital today so we are now back home. He did not sleep well last night, but woke up this morning and has been smiling and alert and pretty much acting like he normally does. I think he was ready to come home because as soon as we got in the car, he was smiling and laughing. He has cried a lot during car trips lately, which has made some interesting trips for Andrea to and from daycare and physical therapy. So he must have known we were on our way home today. We will go back next Friday to get his stitches out and will probably have another follow up in a few weeks for scans to make sure the shunt is working properly. Hopefully this one will work for many years and we won't have to go through this again for a while. Thanks again to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. Now maybe Vince will let us sleep tonight.

Love,

Nick, Andrea and Vince
