No Surgery After All

We had a turn of events last night to say the least. At 1:30 in the morning, one of the Attendings came in and asked me if I had heard the about the "Big Debate". Dr. Forbess could not justify doing surgery on Natalie today, because her stats were awesome all yesterday afternoon. The doctors just finished doing surgery rounds this morning and confirmed, Natalie does not need surgery today! Her stats are were they would be after the shunt, so why do a procedure when she looks so good. Now, this could all change tomorrow. We will be living day by day, but at least it is one more day without surgery!

They are going to go ahead and put a PICC in this morning. A PICC is a more central IV that will last longer than a few days.

Natalie has continued to shock us all. She is a fighter that is foresure! Larry and I will have our hands full as she gets older and Carter better watch out, because she is going to be one tough cookie. She is going to be the girl in the princess dress playing cars with her brother.

Thank you all again for your constant support and prayers for my family. We feel so blessed to have such an incredible support team through all of this.
