Shunt-less...for now

Will made the move to the new hospital successfully! It's a much bigger NICU, instead of the 16-18 babies there are over 40. I miss the small-everybody-knows-you feeling, but we are grateful he's where the specialist are and can get the help he needs.

The Dr's have decided to wait for a bit before they put in the shunt because Will's kidneys and liver are pretty well "shot." One Dr. told us that he's too little and too sick to handle surgery right now. They are trying to help him with meds but pretty much they just need to start working and heal themselves.

Here's a picture of us with Will at his new place.

I am glad he made the move well. Lynette I have been doing this for 10 years and I don't recall ever seeing a shunt in a baby that small!! I was praying so hard for you! I was scared! Hang in there! Love ya!

I like the get-up. Do you have to wear that every time you are in the room with him? We are certainly pulling for little Will and his liver and kidneys!

I'm so happy to hear the move to the new hospital went successfully! We continue to pray for Will and you every day!

P.S. Love the purple gloves!
