Dear friends,
Our wonderful son Nicholas is finally at home from the hospital. This hospitalization lasted 3 1/2 weeks. The poor little guy had four neurosurgeries during that time, several CAT scans, and numerous other tests.
It all started with a fever of 103F, then his shunt started leaking CSF fluid. His pediatrician sent us immediately to the ER, where his neurosurgeon, Dr. Pattisapu was waiting to escort us back to a room. Two hours later, he was in surgery.
Christmas Eve and Christmas were spent in the PSCU at Arnold Palmer Hospital, but that's another story.

We were in the hospital with our oldest son last Christmas (Dec 2008). He's our son who has autism. They found a mass growing on his lungs. After determining that it wasn't cancer, they put him on mega antiibotics for 6 weeks, then he had lung surgery over Valentine's to have the mass removed. There's something about holidays that attract our familyto the hospital. Even my hubby made a trip over Easter. =) I'm glad your family is home and safe.
