Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity Jig!

Is that how you spell jiggity???? Anyways, the point is, we're back home. We had a LONG trip home from Dallas.... left the hospital about 4:30... just in time for traffic. We made it home about 9:30. Kanyon did great in the car, but was glad to be home to kick and play on the floor. Kory had the house spic-n-span clean when we got here! How great is that?!

Thank you for praying us through another surgery. We hope this is the last one for a long long long long time. We are so thankful that Kanyon's body has healed so well after all of his surgeries. His incisions look great. The biggest one is on the top of his head. They put the new shunt in where the old shunt was. They had to make that cut bigger, so it is a whopper. There is a small incision behind his right ear and then one right above his belly button. You can barely barely see the shunt on the top of his head (so that big bubble you've seen in all the pictures is gone) and you can see the tube barely in one spot on his chest. They said as he grows, it will almost all disappear. We are in a way relieved to have all of this behind us. We're ready to move forward without another surgery looming over our heads. They say that the shunt shoudn't cause any trouble. We can just carry on as normal. We pray that he will stay infection free and that we can avoid complications. It is wierd to me that now there is something in his body that will be there forever. They have assured us that "we'll forget it is even there" and he will be able to do whatever he wants to do. We just hope it is an uneventful addition to his anatomy! :)

By the way, Kanyon turned 4 months yesterday. Stinky that we spent yet another birthday in the hospital, but we'll pretend and have our 4 month bball photo shoot here at home! Well, I'm going to go enjoy my little family in our own house! Thank you again for your prayers.
