Surgery #6 on Tuesday.


Scotty received a surprise visit today from his good friend Ronnie. I don't think anyone knows how hard it is to be in the hospital for this period of time. Having someone call or come visit truly lightens up Scotty & our day. The day's drag on & during the evening you never sleep. In a time like this you learn who your family & friends are & how much you mean to them. So, many people have helped us with dinners, gifts, etc. It can get really expensive eating here at the hospital everyday & plus you still need to feed the rest of your family at home. We are grateful to those that have kept in contact or who have visited with us during this ordeal. We feel so loved & are blessed to have you in our lives.

Scotty is scheduled to have surgery #6 on Tuesday & if all goes well we can go home Wednesday. Scotty will continue to be closely monitored because, the shunts have a 50% tendency to fail within the first year. I hope we don't fall in this category. I will quit rambling now & will update again soon.
