Monday...

Well today was the day we thought Devin was going home.. But he is going to have to stay a few more days. While his CT results came back good today, the doctors are concerned with some of the fluid that remains between Devin's skull and the skin of his head.

They are hopeful that the fluid will resolve itself and a shunt won't be needed but they are going to need to monitor him for a couple more days. Today, they used a needle to drain the fluid beneath the skin (just above his left ear). They will continue to measure the fluid build up and may potentially drain it over the next couple days. We will keep you notified regarding the issue.

On a lighter note, Devin is doing so well. He is chatty, babbling A LOT, moving around, does NOT want to be in his "cage" (crib) and will not sleep for anything! He is showing more movement on his right side, his arm is moving from his shoulder, his leg is moving from his hip, and when he is mad/frustrated he will move both his arm and leg. His pulse ox is on his right big toe and when it falls off and they try to put it back on he bends his toe as if he is trying to not let you put it back on... little stinker!

The first 3 photos are from last night and the one with the bandage on his head is from today because of the draining. (Sorry they are blurry... he wouldn't stay still long enough to capture a shot Ü)





Also, in the video he was being held standing up... he LOVES being up instead of sitting down. **Notice the bulge above his left ear... that is where the fluid is accumulating and that is where it was drained** We hope this brightens your day and that you will continue to keep up the prayers for Devin and Katy.

Thank you all!
God Bless
