Shnaider is doing well today. He slept all night last night and is in minimal pain. He has pointed to his back a few times and whimpered. That is all! He is eating and playing some with toys. The fluid has completely drained as you can see in the top picture which is what we were hoping would happen. Now the leak should be able to seal itself without all that pressure built up and we will go in soon to fix the front.
Nick had another great day at school yesterday and seemed good getting on the bus today. We take it day by day. We have noticed he has good months and bad months sometimes it seems to come in spurts. He is still bothered by Shnaiders crying or loud talking and told me yesterday he feels a little jealous. That is huge for him to say what his feelings are and that is an entirely appropriate feeling to have. Im not sure he fully grasps what jealous is or could define his exact feelings about it. We are trying to do as much as possible with the Jer and Nick one on one with either myself or Tom. This experience of Fostering is new to all of us.
Thanks again for all the prayer.

It's good to see that the shunt is working and that Shnaider is doing so well even if his great smile isn't quite back. I can't imagine what he must be thinking is happening to him through all of this.
God will surely reward you and your family for making these sacrifices to care for one of His innocents!
wow, what an improvement in swelling!
WOW, HE LOOKS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will update the blog tonight... Thanks so much!
