A month later...

Sorry. It's been over a month since my last post. Sorry to keep you hanging. It turned out that they let Chase go home the next day, November 15th. They taught us how to change is wound dressings and administer his antibiotics through his PICC line. And he was home...until November 18th. On November 18th we went in for an MRV (and MRI of his ventricles) I left Children's and as soon as I got off of I94, I got a phone call that we needed to bring him back because his ventricles were enlarged and they wanted to observe him in case he was having a shunt malfunction. So back we went. They let us go the next morning because his vitals didn't show signs of him having a malfunction. So, we had him home for his first Thanksgiving. :) The Friday after Thanksgiving, we had a repeat MRV, which showed no changes from the week before and the took out his PICC line since his back was healing so awesomely. He also had his first visit with his pediatrician. He was 9lbs 1oz and 21 1/4 inches long. I went back to work on December 7th :( It was quite hard since I didn't have a whole lot of time with him, but I know he is in great hands. Well that's all for my update. He has his 2 month checkup on December 27th and then he sees all of his Spina Bifida doctors on January 3rd. Here is hoping everyone has a great holiday! -e
