We saw the Neurologist today. He said he now wants to wait for 3 months to see Shnaider back instead of doing surgery on the front now. He is hoping that if it can scar over on its own that he might not have to even go back in at all. The shunt will need to continue to work and keep the pressure off so it can scar over. The plan is to watch and wait for now.
We are also looking for a family that wants to adopt Shnaider. The organization in Haiti has been unable to locate his mother since he came in March. They will go through the steps to consider him an abandoned child. He would be able to stay here in the U.S. until the end of the adoption process. Our hope is that he can transition from our family to an adoptive family soon. If no adoptive family is found then he will go back to Haiti in 6 months (provided all his medical care is done then) and live in an orphanage. The shunt needs to stay in for 6 months then they will take it out.
We are praying that the shunt continues to work and that he needs no more surgeries and that an adoptive family is found.

Would his adoption be considered an international one, with agency fees and the like included?
What a sweetheart. The plight of these babes is so sad.
