So the wife took the child to the Pediatrician on Monday.
The doc gave Annie the once over, checked the minor swelling around the base of her shunt and pronounced it acceptable. He checked her scar and confirmed that it is not infected. He measured the circumference of her head and said it looks like the shunt revision did the trick.
He gave Annabelle her shots and that was that.
Today we have a CT Scan to take a look at Annie's head to make sure the shunt is doing what it is supposed to. I am also hopeful that they will be able to give us some determination on whether or not the 3V procedure remains successful.
As these things go, we probably will not get the results for a week or so.
The bummer about scanning an infant is that they have to put her under otherwise she would never hold still enough. That means no solid food after "this time" to formula after "that time" and eventually nothing at all . . . . The protocol is basically exactly like surgery with a recovery period after etc. - the obvious difference being the absence of any sharp objects other than a needle or two.
So it is a somewhat significant day but nothing really to work up a sweat about.
Updates to come as soon as we get the results!
Thank you for your continued prayers and support.
