Ayla's surgery that she had on April 11th for the shunt revision went very well. It was greatly needed as the color has come back into her face, the bags under her eyes are no longer there and she seems much more aware of what's going on around her. Her teachers at school have also noticed that she's more alert, happier, and seems to "get the concepts" alot easier now with her math and english. I'm really pleased about that. My mom came up from Florida to spend a few days with us at the hospital which I was forever grateful for. I didn't realize how much it would mean to me until the day of the surgery and we were waiting for the doctor to come out and tell us the surgery was over. Ayla had her post op appointment today and everything is just fine. We won't have to see the doctor again until next year this tim. I'm relieved this whole situation is behind us now and we can mover forward. Ayla also turned 9 this month and is excited about the new look of her website.
