This is our little stud muffin after his surgery to remove the 'cele. He did freakin' awesome! Dr. B said that his size helped him so much. (he was 9 lb 3 ozs without the 'cele) He didn't have to be on the breathing machine much longer after the surgery. The neo-natalogist came to speak with us. His 'official' diagnosis was Arnold Chiari Malformation Type 3 with Hydrocephalus, and Spinal Bifida. They had no idea if he would ever walk, talk or even eat on his own. So, once again, we play the wait and see game. When he was 7 days old, he got menegytis. That was crazy scary. His IVs kept going bad so he had to have a broviach place. They couldn't do a pic line. Long story short, they caught the ickiness in perfect time. He was good to go in 21 days. Then his first shunt was placed. One month later he had a g tube placed.
