Christopher is out of surgery and everything went well. The wonderful doctor "Greg" used all the comforting words anyone would want to hear, like "customary", "routine", "successful", etc. Christopher actually had two procedures done. The good doctors took care of the opening in his spine--which was relatively small--a significant blessing! They also surgically inserted the shunt, a drainage system in his head which will prevent water build up. The little guy has been through a lot and will most likely sleep the rest of today. Becky should be released from the hospital tomorrow morning and is looking forward to being reunited with her son. She took her first long walk down the hall this afternoon and did really well. Becky should be able to hold Christopher and nurse him in a couple of days. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. The miracles are happening!
