Waiting

Friends,

Thankful that:

• In spite of it being very busy in the ER tonight, that we were fast-tracked back to a bed immediately.
• We were able to get a conclusive answer quickly (it is her shunt: the pressure was over 30 when they tapped it around 9pm tonight).
• We didn't have to wait long for a room to open up in the PICCU (Room #5415 for those who need that info)
• Our nurses have been wonderful (Bethany is our nurse tonight, and could not be kinder)
• Our in-home nurse (and dear friend) Ana was on today (she is a pro at this, and such a comfort to me during our ER visits!)
• I got a two hour nap in this morning (again, thank you Ana). That'll come in handy as I'm gonna be up way past my bedtime tonight : ) 
• Ava Gray is not in pain at the moment. (Praise, as the past few days have been pretty rough for her - now that the pressure is back to normal after her tap, she's got to feel a zillion percent better!)

Tomorrow the Neuro team will check in with us. They think odds are high that she will be going in to surgery tomorrow, but the TPA injection/treatment may just work again...we can pray towards that end!

Okay. Lights are dimmed. Lullabies are playing. Ava Gray looks adorable and completely at peace. I'm going to try to catch a little shut-eye myself. Goodnight friends.

Oh, and here's Havyn at the park across from Vandy (after she and KP dropped us off for the night):

 And our sweet lil' trooper, getting some well-deserved rest:

Nite all!
