Our Little Fighter Wins Again!

This baby is just amazing! She had 2 big surgeries today and did wonderful with both! It was an anxiety filled day for all of us as we waited for news but it was wonderful news in the end!
First the neurosurgeon did his thing. He drained a little bit of fluid and already you can see a difference. I didn't really notice that her head was getting bigger, Mike noticed, but I think I was in denial. But when we got to see her after she returned to the NICU I could see a change.
After he was done the pediatric surgeon fixed her up. She has a feeding tube that goes in her belly past the point of her surgery so that while that heals they can begin to feed her and get some weight on her.
She looked good when we left tonight and we are hoping that she has a peaceful, calm, restful night and that her recovery doesn't have any hurdles. She has had enough thrown at her already and needs a break!

Please continue to pray for her while she recovers!
