Watching & Waiting

This weekend has basically been a transition time for Gianna to heal from last week's surgery in preparation for the upcoming shunt surgery on Tuesday. We've spent every possible moment with her here at the hospital. I feel like I'm constantly watching her for any signs that the increasing pressure in her brain in causing her to get sick. Her head circumference measured larger again last night but the nurses and doctors always assure us that the good thing about young infants is the ability of their heads to moreceasily expand since the skull hasn't completely formed and closed yet.

While we've been watching & waiting...lots of special things have happened this weekend. Gianna has had lots of family & friends come by to meet her and wish her well, her Granddaddy & I got to give her her first post-surgery bath last night, the boys (along with the McIntosh gang) had pink ice cream cake from NaNa & PapPap to celebrate Gianna's birth, and Dominic lost a tooth while at the hospital visiting G so the tooth fairy made a visit last night also! :-)
