We are still in the hospital (see below for full story) but things are looking up. Carter had his surgery on Friday (Jan. 4th) to get his new shunt put in. This one is on the other side of his head, but it looks good. He did good during the surgery and everything was looking great for us to go home the next day. He woke up Saturday with a cold. He was coughing and his eyes looked a little sick. The Neurosurgeons came in that morning and said that we could go home. Our cute nurse said that she was going to send his stuffiness off to be tested and it came back RSV. So we unpacked and settled in for another few days. All of our hospital neighbors have RSV so it wasn't a total surprise that he got it. All they do for that is give him some breathing treatments (kind of like asthma treatments) and suction his yuckies out of his nose and give more oxygen and then just wait and see how he does. The doc's came in this morning and said we can go home tomorrow (Wednesday) if he continues to do good. He's hanging in there and being so very brave. It's going to be nice getting him home where he can finally relax.
