Update on Hayden's Surgery

Hello everyone!

Mr. Hayden's surgery went well Friday. Thankfully, he did not need an additional shunt! The catheter on his current shunt was not draining properly, so doctors removed it and replaced it with a new one.

Because of seizure activity, doctors needed to observe Hayden for a few days in the pediatric ICU (PICU) at TX Childrens. He has been doing alot better and finally was allowed to eat!!!! HOPEFULLY, Mommy and Hayden will get to come home tomorrow (Monday)!!

Thanks to the loved ones who have been there with Lisa and Hayden at the hospital, and the many well-wishers from home! A special thank-you to Aunt Lara, who rarely left their side for 2 days!!! It is amazing how strong a family becomes in times of worry and desperation. We have THE BEST family, ever!!

I WANT TO GIVE A BIG THANK-YOU TO EVERYONE THAT HELPED MOVE LISA AND HAYDEN!!! Lisa was approved for a 2-bedroom apartment recently. She was SO excited that Hayden will have his OWN room, and she was going to get to begin moving in this weekend. When Hayden needed surgery, Lisa, of course, put moving on the back burner.

Our cousin, Latisha (Tisha, Ditta, whichever name you call her =) began the process Saturday by spending ALL DAY AND NIGHT packing, wrapping, and cleaning (dishes, clothes, etc). She also went shopping for Lisa and Hayden groceries and other miscellaneous items that would make Lisa and Hayden feel right at home (when they get home).

The other big helpers, who moved everything from one apartment to another, were Sara, Tisha, Marshal, Brenda, Bryan, Jessica C., Frank, and Jeremy! Don't know WHAT we would have done without y'all! What wonderful and selfless people you all are!!! Thank you so so so much!!!

It was a long a tiring day, but the look on Lisa's face when she sees her new home is sooo worth it! She doesn't know exactly what we did...she just thinks we moved a couple of things! How exciting it will be to see her face when she is surprised!

Out of all the people in the world, no one deserves this more than Lisa and Hayden! (We just hope they don't move again for a long, long time =) ha ha ha

Thanks to everyone!!! Love you all!! Please pray for Lisa and Hayden's safe trip home tomorrow, Hayden''s first night to sleep in his own home since Wednesday and Lisa's 1st night to sleep in a bed since Wednesday (in their new apartment, I might add!!)
