The bandage and the bruising on the right side of her head is where the doctor removed her shunt.
The bandage on the left side is where the new shunt was placed. The bandages on her neck and chest is where the doctor placed the distal end of the shunt into Cayman's heart.
The little red dots and bruising on the right side of Cayman's chest is from the many failed attempts to replace the shunt back into her heart.
She also has bruises on both hands and both feet from the attempts to start an IV.
For obvious reasons you can see why it's been a rough week for Cayman in the hospital. It's nice to be back home. But she seems to have forgotten she is suppose to sleep at night, and be awake during the day. We'll have to work on that...again. :o)

Poor Cayman. No baby should have to go through all of that. What a trooper!
I hope that she stays out of the hospital for a LONG time.
Take care of that sweet little baby :)
Thank the Lord you are HOME again. My heart goes out to you all. My Shaley had to be stuck 15 times to get an IV going, thankfully she NOW has a port-a-cath. These precious children don't deserve this! Still praying for ALL of you.

Priase God Cayman has been such a little trooper through all this. We are so thankful He has given her the strength to handle all these procedures and pokings of the needles etc. It brought tears to my eyes when I read this blog and saw sweet little Cayman all bruised and bandaged up. She has touched my heart and in so many ways and too see her go through all this kills me. You three are such amazing blessings to many and continue to remind us that God has plans and will give us only what we can handle!! We love you guys!!!
Poor baby...that makes me so sad for her!!! What a brave little girl she is! Thoughts and prayers to you all.
Precious little Cayman!!! Our hearts cry for everything she goes through! And yet, she is still doing her best to smile and coo even when you know she can't be feeling the best. She is such an inspiration to the rest of us! Love & Prayers to you three!
Omg poor Kadyns head has never been bruised like that. Or it just cant be seen. She is such a fighter. She is amazing. I showed kadyns her pictures. The 3 month ones and he smiled and squelled really loud! Such a beautiful baby girl
