We're counting down to Cole's shunt being reinternalized. His CSF samples have stayed clear since a week ago Wednesday which would put us on schedule for reinternalization on Saturday. We figured they wouldn't do the surgery until Monday, but as it turns out Cole's Neurosurgeon is on call Saturday, so he has scheduled the surgery for Saturday. This would mean that we would go home Sunday or Monday. They also report all the markers for infection have continued to decrease nicely (e.g., white blood cell counts). Cole does not seem sick at all. The EVD makes it a little cumbersome to move him much, but he is happy and banging on his piano and tamberine, and playing with his mylar balloon. We are very excited to be going home. We just wish all the other kids were doing the same. Shawn was going to post some pictures and video, but he is Blog-challenged. We will work on it together tomorrow.
