Gianna's shunt surgery was successful. In fact, it went so well that the Neurosurgeon came to talk to us approximately one hour after we left her. We thought we would be waiting a couple of hours before we got any news. I can't say enough about UK Hospital and all of Gianna's doctors. A lot of places claim to be the best and many people claim other places throughout the country are front runners in pediatric neurosurgery but we wouldn't want her to be anywhere else. UK has exceeded expectations on many levels which has helped us through these times and for that we are truly blessed. Right now (11pm), Matt and I are hanging out with Gianna during her recovery in the UK Children's hospital. There is a slight possibility she could get discharged tomorrow (Saturday). We will keep our fingers crossed but if she is not ready to come home just yet, we definitely know she is in a great place here at UK. I attached a couple post-op photos as well as a short video clip of her an hour after surgery.
Wonderful news! Congratulations. :)
