FOREVER

I know, I know, it's been forever since I have posted.  So sorry.  But, good news is that I now have wireless internet at home, so I can begin to update her blog.  I have so many things buzzing around in my head, ready to make it from the keyboard to this screen.  So, be on the look out in next couple of weeks for some things.

Right now we are currently back at the hospital, but I believe that this time it's a good thing.  Lauren had the following things happen:

7/9 shunt malfunction-successfully treated with TPA injection (broke up clots at end of catheter in heart)

7/20 shunt malfunction-successfully treated with TPA injection

8/11 shunt malfunction-successfully treated with TPA injection

9/6 shunt malfunction-successfully treated with TPA injection BUT, this time they decided to do a little more. 

Earlier today Lauren underwent a shunt revision in surgery changing her VA (heart shunt) back to a VP (to her abdomen).  We are all rooting that this keeps my little butterfly from getting sick and back and forth between the hospital.  

We are in our room now, and Lauren is sleeping.  I think the next few hours she will be in and out of sleep and some discomfort, but I anticipate her to make a speedy recovery.  So much that if all goes well we can get out of here tomorrow and back HOME!!!!  Where her big sisters are anxiously awaiting.  

Thanks to everyone who sent some prayers up high for her recovery and safety, we certainly appreciate your generous hearts.  Love to all!
