Surgery went well
Just wanted to let everyone know that Autumn's surgery went great. They only had to replace the shunt tubing in her head and now her incision is a little larger than it was. She recovered just fine and was wide-eyed and awake as soon as she got to the recovery room. They gave her a little morphine since she was crying a little and her blood pressure was high. She though seems like she is in no pain. She took some pedilyte by bottle as soon as she got back to the room and held it down so she can have formula again whenever she wants. By Wednesday we should be able to wash her hair and she should be going back to Baylor tomorrow. She is already at room air and not needing any oxygen so hopefully the surgery will be the answer to no more oxygen. We'll see. I also found a nursing home in Monahans that will take Autumn for the MDCP program to get us on Medicaid. They have 2 beds open right now so hopefully we can leave from Baylor--go to Monahans and then back home. They only require us to stay in the nursing home from 9:30pm-12:30am and then we can go back home. YEA! So, Autumn looks great and things are back on track.
