Scott is Out of Surgery

Scott is out of surgery now and doctors were able to complete the procedure to place the shunt in his skull.  This is great news!  The shunt will allow for fluid to be drained and is apparently much less prone to infections and complications than the original type of drain he had. 

Now its on to the feeding.  Scott's neurosurgeon is meeting now with the GI specialist to figure out how to quickly and safely begin feeding Scott.  Jen is hoping to meet with them soon to get this issue resolved tonight.
