Shunt Adjusted

Thursday, May 8, 2008

We did go to Ann Arbor today. Cayman had her shunt adjusted. It's at the highest setting now. There's no other setting above this one that can slow up her head drainage. *Fingers crossed* I hope it works!

Cute story time:
On our way up to Ann Arbor Cayman was hungry and crying. I had the bottle heating up in the travel warmer but ya know babies aren't born with patience so she was screaming. In between cries she sucked on her fingers. I always vent her (hook up the chimney to her G-tube) whenever I feed her in the vehicle so she can burp without us having to stop and take her out of the car seat. I looked over at her and she had ahold of that tube hanging in front of her and she had pulled it into her mouth sucking on it. It was the cutest thing!! It made Daddy and I so happy for the fact that she saw something there and knew to pull it to her mouth in hopes it would be food showed intellectual thinking. When you are told your child's development is uncertain, you find yourself celebrating even the smallest of things!!
