Madi came back safely from surgery. They took out her external shut and put in a new internal one. She's now five weeks old and has had four shunts (her first one, two external ones, and the one she has in now). She is in quite a bit of pain so they gave her morphine to help her feel better. She's not very interested in food but is resting quietly on my chest. I did try to breastfeed her and, when that did not work, tried giving her milk out of a syringe. My biggest prayer was that she would come through the surgery safely. Now that she has done that, I'm praying that her shunt will stay infection-free, will stay placed correctly, and will continue to function as it is supposed to. I am so thankful that God has protected her. We are hopeful that we will get to head home tomorrow. I couldn't ask for a better Christmas gift!
