They are done with Forrest's surgery and Toliver and I are with him in Post-Op. He is in a bit more pain this time, so he is receiving more pain medication. Dr. Luciano has confirmed that the valve had flipped over. He replaced it with a new valve set at the highest setting and sutured it in place so that it remains exactly how they placed it! They are doing an x-ray now to confirm. In the best of worlds, we will be home next week. If this does not significantly resolve the CSF over drainage, there will be more tests and possibly more surgery next week. Thank you all for the avalanche of prayers and positive energy that will surely carry Forrest out of danger and safely into the light.
God Bless,
Rae

Toliver stopped the gurney for special kisses this morning as Forrest was taken to surgery. They are reunited now in post-op. |
