Well last week knocked the breath out of me. It all started about 3 weeks ago, we noticed that Abby seemed sleepier than normal and she was throwing up some. We both thought she was just getting sick. Fast forward 2 weeks and the problem only seemed to get worse. An appt was made to check on her and look at a swollen spot on her back, we were worried that it was her shunt. Her Dr. referred us to her Birmingham Children's neurosurgeon the next day. Within an hour of our arrival she was in surgery to replace a shunt. The Dr. there told us that she could have died anytime during the last few days. I do not share this lightly, next to the NICU it was the scariest time of my life.

Then, two days later she had a status seizure, this followed by and ER visit and lifeflight to Birmingham for a double check on the shunt.

All is well for a few days now. I was never one to look fwd to boring, instead I strived for exciting. Now I just long for dullness

That was a mouthful. Praise the Lord for Patty! She saved our Abby's life.
