A Hope for Elijah: May 2010
http://ahopeforelijah.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 27, 2010. HAPPY SECOND BIRTHDAY ELIJAH! Wow so much to update! The Dr was very pleased with how it turned out. We were released after only 48 hours! We had to be readmitted several days later for concern of shunt failure or meningitis. After many tests and blood work we were able to go home again. He began crying non stop for several days after this but we were able to adjust and add some meds without being admitted. The Neuro surgeon believes his brain is trying to adjust. AND he is lookin...

Wednesday, March 31, 2010. No problems placing the shunt. We are in our room waiting for a CT scan. He is having some trouble with retching and vomiting. We are just doing lots of suctioning. We are going to try and start his continuous feeds soon. We will not be able to go home unless he can tolerate his feeds. He has a great new hairdo.shaved on halve of his head!

A Hope for Elijah: Sweet Elijah update
http://ahopeforelijah.blogspot.com/2010/04/sweet-elijah-update.html
Saturday, April 10, 2010. On April 12th he has an MRI to see if his ventricles have decreased in size and then on the 13th he gets his stitches out.YEAH! I can tell his head feels different and looks a bit different. He is still uncomfortable and grumpy, but the shunt is set at a very slow flow rate. I expect the Dr to increase this flow rate at the appt on Tuesday. He continues to gain weight and is really just the cutest thing in the whole world.we are all in love with him!
