All under one roof!!!

We are all under one roof tonight. It feels so good to sit know that Tyler is sound asleep in the room next door and his dad and I are right here for him when he wakes up!

What a whirl wind of a crazy week. In my wildest dreams,( OK it was my worst nightmare) did I think I could ever get through this with out all the family we usually have around us. BUT! We did. We relied on each other and we are home!

So this is the REST of the story and a little about how shunts work.

So where we left off:

Ty had emergency surgery last night ( which we "told" you about.) and he came out as feisty as they get. We got him settled and we headed home. I blogged and headed to bed. I didn't sleep long just enough to get my energy back and I was up around 5 am. I finished up some laundry( see above photo of the towels. 10 towels in one day.) and did up some dishes and then started the errand running that has to get done.

After waking up Dallas and finding him not feeling the best and ready to puke all over, I headed up to see Tyler. We had called every hour to see how he was and the only report we could get was he was sound asleep. Which gave us much needed reassurance that he was doing well.

I got to the hospital just after he was returned from his CT scan. I had wanted to get there a little earlier but had to take care of my other guy to. But when I got there I saw the most WONDERFUL sight. Ty was sitting up and ready to go! He looked amazing. When I got there and said his name he jumped right up ready to get out of the crib. At that point he was all mine!

We set up the computer and put on a few movies, stacked a few blocks, threw a few balls. We called Dallas a few times. He was doing really well. They brought his lunch and I KNEW he wouldn't eat it so we took a trip to the cafeteria where we had PIZZA.

(I was a little disturbed at how many people stared at us. In fact it kinda hurt a little but his poor little scar is kinda out there. I love him so much and just want to have people see him and not the scar.) ( this is the scar)

We went back and threw rocks outside. Played in the water fountain, threw rocks in the water fountain ( not sure if we were suppose to but he loved it) then went to find a play room. It SUCKED and didn't have any balls so we went back.

We ran into our neurosurgeon on the way and said if we had been out and about then we might as well get out of there! We were so excited. This neurosurgeon is great. We really liked him. And we were so happy to get out of there.

We called Dallas and headed out to home. As we drove into the driveway I could tell Ty was tired but he had had no meds since around 7 that morning and no nap. But he was so glad to see his dad. Those to played for a little and we fed Tyler again ( yep you read right he ate AGAIN) and we continued to play, and play. He even got himself some really nice ice cream.

He took a shower and we got most of the iodine off. He was off to play some more. He got dinner ( yep food again) and he was set to get to bed. He has been in bed since 8 and has not woken up once.

Overall this kid is back to OUR kid. We love him so much. He is amazing and wonderful. We are so proud of him and find him to be such a blessing to us.. Along with the most amazing miracle we could ever ask for.
