David spent all afternoon in surgery, but finally came out around 6 p.m.  We are happy to report David came through the surgery with flying colors!  For now, all is well.  Dr. Dabal didn’t have any problems implanting the shunt, but the next couple of days will tell the tale.

They are going to monitor him closely to make sure everything is stable.  We are really praying his oxygen level is stable, and we pray he starts eating again as well as he has been.  Those will be the two factors in when we get to bring him home.

David has many trips, including ones for surgery, ahead of him, so please keep him in your prayers, especially during this time of recovery.  He looked good, even though it was hard to see him with the red line down the middle of his chest.  He’ll start waking up Tuesday and hopefully get stronger by the day.

Thank you for all you’ve done for us so far.  All the calls, e-mails and prayers have helped us through this.  Please keep them coming!
